I believe that it will be shortly be Thanksgiving weekend as I have seen lots of references to it in Comments.  So, to all of you who are about to celebrate, my good wishes for a happy time.

I've just checked the calendar and see that I'm a week early!  My apologies - just put it down to the fact that we don't have this as a Public Holiday in the UK.  Nonetheless, my good ws=ishes remain the same.
