First off today, I want to thank all of you who've been commenting on our blog.  We want this to be a place where your voice can be heard, and it always makes us glad to see that you're logging on and typing in your opinions.  (The teachers who've taken the time to enter their students' comments get an honorable mention here!)

Second, I want to wish all of you an awesome Thanksgiving holiday.  I always viewed this time as the first real break of the school year; it gives you a chance to catch your breath and hopefully catch up with your family and friends.  The turkey package we whipped up for Tuesday's show was meant to be a goofy sort of send-off, and I hope it gave you something to smile about before you left for the holiday.  Who knew that Ben Franklin loved turkeys?  I didn't think that anyone could be so enthusiastic about something that gobbles.
