Considering Thanksgiving is just a day away, it would be a travesty, I feel, not to take this opportunity to give thanks (or no thanks, I suppose), which is why I turned to the one and only Facebook as my muse this beautiful Wednesday morning. To be more specific, the recent trend of giving thanks on everyone’s favorite social media site each day throughout the month of November. For example, on November 1 ... For day one, I’m thankful for AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” because fictional zombie apocalypses are much more pleasant than the real thing. Just ask George Romero. On November 15 ... It’s day fifteen and today I’m thankful for finding that last clean pair of socks that were buried among the various t-shirts which have taken over my dresser since I never get to wear them anymore. I guess it’s time to do some laundry.

Silly, I know, but such is life on Facebook.

And then there’s that other Facebook phenomenon, the “meme.”

“Today I will live in the moment ... unless the moment is unpleasant, in which case I’ll eat a cookie,” is a good one, as is, “Sometimes we don’t need advice, we just need someone who will listen” and “There are two types of people in this world: People you drink with, and people you are with that make you want to drink.”
