Being Thankful
On this Thanksgiving holiday, we at The Star are thankful: That Thanksgiving has the grace always to be on a Thursday, giving many a four-day weekend, while Christmas and New Year's uncharitably fall on a Wednesday this year.
That someone invented elastic waist bands.
That we're not New York Jets fans.
That the Pilgrims didn't need to get a large-gathering permit for their feast.
That our families are traditionalists and will not be serving tofu turkeys, which are being promoted this year.
That the O.J. Simpson trial will be over sometime in the year ahead.
That we won't have to lament the loss of another old-line store on East Hampton's Main Street - alas, they're all gone.
That we don't have to eat samp.
That Star employees no longer receive turkeys as bonuses.
Have a happy day!
