This year I’m smoking our turkey so I’ve been out on the back deck (in the San Francisco drizzle) since 5:30am but I’m not complaining… it’s Thanksgiving after all and it has become my favorite holiday of the year. It’s the one holiday that focuses solely on reflection and giving thanks.

I have a tendency to get a bit sentimental on the blog at times like this so I’ll keep it brief. I’m never more thankful at any point in my life, as I am right now. Particularly given all that is going on in the world right now. Family, colleagues, peers and friends – it doesn’t get much better than this. I wanted to share a card that I found in my bag last week from my eldest daughter, Addison (blogging with me above). It is a picture she drew of my computer, complete with eBay Ink on the screen, and yours truly peering back – moustache and all.

We’ve had a very full 2011 here on Ink and I’m excited about all that the coming year has in store. It’s comforting to know that no matter how hairy it gets, I’ll have this card with me at all times reminding me to give thanks for how good I’ve got it.

Cheers all and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Please be patient over the next few days with Ink’s news reporting and commentary. I became the proud father of a second beautiful, healthy daughter this past weekend.

There will still be stories and posts (as this morning proves evident) on a regular basis over the next two weeks while I spend some quality time with my family but just wanted to give you a heads up that my responses to comments and questions may take a little longer than normal. I have a great team back at HQ that will pitch in as needed while I’m out.

I plan on blogging remotely while out and look forward to seeing you on the other side.

Cheers!
RBH
