sdelmonteEven when things are rough, for individuals or for communities, there are always things to be thankful for. Family and friends, fandoms and fics, big things and little. I know what I am thankful for, and hope that you have the chance to give thanks in your own way as well.
One thing I am thankful for is "Alice's Restaurant," Arlo Guthrie's famous story-song. Turns out that the event that inspired the song, at the real Alice's Restaurant, happened fifty years ago today. To mark the anniversary, PBS will be showing a special concert from Arlo tonight. But at noon, I plan to do the more traditional thing and listen to the original. Glad that Arlo is still with us, especially given how young his dad was when he died. Glad he's still having it come around on the guitar.
