Its Thanksgiving Day in America and their are still many things to be thankful for, and I wish everyone a great holiday and hope it is a happy and peaceful one.
The net month and a half is officially the holiday season, I guess, and the retailers have started their "black Friday" sales a bit earlier as they do each year.
You get a bit nostalgic around this time if you have reached a certain age thinking back on when everything seemed simpler and less materialistic.
The past wasn't really better, although it was probably healthier with more actual activities and less virtual ones.
A great advantage of growing up in the city back then was all the walking, walk to play, walk to school, walk to the store, walk to the subway, walk up the stairs to your apartment.
These didn't seem like big advantages, but to get that sort of exercise in the suburbs, you have to work at it, and probably pay a pretty penny to a gym.
Now you can put on virtual headsets and probably recreate all those experiences.
Just not the same.
Happy Thanksgiving!
