Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
It gives me a chance to reflect on the year past and year future.
Each November I make my “top 10″ list of people/events to be grateful for.
Your column today is one reason that you, N. S. Gill are in that category, this year and every year.
In my research, often intuitively done, I find your choice of subjects inspiring when it comes to delving into the lives of the Romans and Greeks. You take me to places I wouldn’t necessarily have gone to – Vediovis, for instance.
I’m not quite sure when or how I found your website, but I AM eternally grateful.
Thank you.
Happy Holiday to you!
