I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was great, spent with my wife, children, grandchildren, and dogs.  To say I have a lot to be grateful for is truly an understatement … in art and in life.

But I also know the things we hold most dear and usually take for granted can easily be taken away.

So, please take a moment to think about this, especially as it relates to the one thing that enables us to do so much and to have so much … our democracy.

Let’s do all we can in this most important year ahead to be to make sure Thanksgiving 2024 is truly a happy one.

Stay well,

Michael
