Wishing a very happy Thanksgiving to all from the wild turkeys of my hometown of Staten Island, NY and myself. May your Thanksgiving meal be amazing and the wild turkeys not loitering in front of your car.

Memories of my past life in journalism and the boxes and boxes of schwag in the garage from media events/corporate mailers. Confession, my friends: I still use the Homer Simpson mug from the Simpsons World streaming app launch party back in 2014 or so.
Mmm... coffee.
