'Tis the season. Pumpkin pie. Gluten-free stuffing. The mad dash to the supermarket when we realize a key ingredient is missing, despite our many lists. We wonder if any place will be open, but there is always some store that is. A math challenge: How to get too many dishes on the table at the same time without having at least two of them be more lukewarm than you had hoped? And, finally, the dinner. We hold hands and go around the table and share what we are thankful for until someone gets mad at someone else and flees the table, returning only to eat pie an hour later, the rest of us too relieved, too anxious, to do anything but welcome the angry one back to the table. Ahh, Thanksgiving....
