Happy Thanksgiving

I'm sure you all noticed last week's Wall Street Journal article on the correlation between happiness and gratitude. Grateful people are happier people.

So, when I woke up this morning I immediately set to counting my blessings:

Today I am thankful for :

• The company and friendship of the Naked Man,

• A job in a challenging and fickle economy,

• A family in good health,

• A leopardcat that pees on the floor only in one part of the apartment but not every part,

• The fact that my house guest didn't think anything of the fact that I was too tired (arguably a euphemism for inebriated) to make it to my bed last night so slept fully clothed (with shoes on) on the pull out couch next to her,

• The country-wide insider trading investigation (which, frankly, is like Christmas arriving early for hedge fund lawyers), and

• All of Penelope's supporters and their comical and insightful responses to my "private blog"

Happy Thanksgiving from the Entire Editorial Staff of The Lunch Report
