The Airportline: Observations

Thanksgiving is here but this is Europe so very few people care about this. This does not mean that it is a bad time to be thankful, so today I will try and think about the good things: about friends I have dotted around the world, who send me emails, text messages, who calls me from thunderstorms in Singapore, who write messages on cards, who comment on this blog, who give me space on couches and drive me in their cars, who make mix cds with music I send them, who buy me sushi, who give their time to my strange projects, and tell me that I am good when I question myself. It is a beautiful thing and now is as good as any day to give it up for you. I hope you think that I give something back, I hope that you occasionally take something from the music I send you, from the the short stories with spelling mistakes I give you, from my ears that listen to you concerns, and from the scribbles on this blog. We all fly different directions but hopefully we rub of each other, hopefully we make each other better people, give each other greater perspectives, and that, my friends, is something that I am very thankful for.

Where are your friends tonight?
