Full-size drawing of Jay’s back porchMy ever-present mug (china, not stoneware), of (organically & shade-grown, fair-trade, Guatemalan-roast, unpolluted with cream or sugar) coffee hot and steaming, is warming my hands in the 22ºF clear pre-dawn morning. My thoughts again roam to my great good fortune in this life. Again this morning, as I have each day of my nearly 76 years, I awoke alive—that’s a fine start to any day, I think.

This Thanksgiving week, there will probably not be much coming from the Codgers at the Coffee Shop, as the boys, save Medford & I, have already left town to be with their respective children for the holiday. This year its Med & Laura’s (Med’s heretofore not introduced bride of 51 years) turn to host, and my turn to be a guest. Still, we will be at the coffee shop this week—and if anything postworthy develops—it will appear on these pages.

Today’s high temp is currently predicted to be around 50ºF—shirt-sleeve weather!

Jay, I just started reading "Flags of Our Fathers", about the six "boys" who raised the American Flag on Iwo Jima.  The first chapter is about growing up in pre-WWII America--very insightful.  The book begins with a quote from Harry Truman, "The only thing new in this world is the history that you don't know".
