Happy Thanksgiving.
Photo taken by my uncle Rich, who is reflected in the doorway behind the subjects: the turkey, my grandmother and mother. Probably taken in the 1940s. Turkeys were smaller then.
In the style of Life or Saturday Evening Post, my uncle Rich (reflected in the background) took this photo grandma and his sister Dorothy (my Mom). Copyright Richard Ferguson.

This powerful quote by member of the French Resistance Lucie Aubrac (1912-2007) is pertinent today:

"Le mot résister doit toujours se conjuguer au présent."

(The word resist must always be conjugated in the present tense.)

Currently reading Winston Churchill's "Memoirs of the Second World War," which is full of quotes that are pertinent to our times. And I am just starting Chapter 14, The Tragedy of Munich. Still to come the Hitler Stalin pact to partition Poland. We are living in very dark times.

This 2005 novel anticipates much of this. Full disclosure: my wife wrote it.

This quaint political commentary by @tomtomorrow.bsky.social from 1991 surfaced in my tee shirt collection as I dressed for my workout today. Ahhh, the good old days before the capitulation of the Fourth Estate :-;
