[Leica] Happy Thanksgiving!

[pklein at threshinc.com (Peter Klein)]

I'm a little late, but I hope my LUG friends had a happy Thanksgiving. 
And if you're not from the U.S., I hope you enjoyed the day anyway, and 
that some of our spirit of goodwill radiated your way wherever you are!

I'm so thankful for my dear wife, family, good friends, health, home, 
work, music, photography, art, and life. And for the friends on this 
list, who, through their wonderful images, are in my thoughts every day.

--Peter
