Of course we don’t celebrate the typical thanksgiving here in Mexico or in any other part of Latin America that I’m aware of, but to all our readers and friends who live in North America and who are not stuck in no turkey day land, have a Happy Turkey Day! Please eat copious amounts of pie, turkey, delicious veggies and all the fixin’s I won’t get any chance of eating and be kind to tell me how your feast goes so I can sit at the computer and drool.
This in turn is our thanksgiving post to one of our kind donators, Greg Cruikshank, for helping give life to this little corner of ours. I hope you enjoy the playlist, Greg, it’s broken up basically into warm pastoral mood, some rockers, some upbeat jazz and funk songs and was compilled by squashed with a little bit of my help - may you all have a great holiday in company of your friends and family.

Hola Mocha,
I will be having a ‘Tofurky’ (Tofu Turkey) Feast with my mate’s girlfriend (American) down here in Australia. She says not to make fun of the tofu until you’ve tried it! Love that Hendrix…What about ‘All Along the Wathctower’? Hey, could you have a look at this?
A Questionnaire for Popular Bloggers,
As you’ve been either a recipient or a candidate for a blogging award I must assume that your blog is quite popular. At my blog http://www.blogspoke.com I have just written a post that has a questionnaire relating to the topic ‘Why I blog’ and I thought it would be pertinent to get some insight from the minds of those who obviously have put a lot of effort into their blogging experience. The post can be found at http://www.blogspoke.com/page/blogspoke?entry=so_you_re_a_blogger.
If you can answer the ten easy questions (in the Comments link) that would be great, but if you could take the time to really let my readers know what you think about blogging (from your heart, mind, and soul) that would be appreciated immensely. We look forward to hearing about what inspires you to make those little ‘ticking’ noises on your keyboard, and on what makes your brain ‘tick’.
Gracias,
Jesse S. Somer
