    Forty years ago today my roommate and I walked across the English Gardens of Munich, Germany to attend a Thanksgiving party at the appartment of an American doctor friend who had recently been discharged from a stint in the US Army in Vietnam. He and his wife and new baby were kind enough to invite us to the ad hoc celebration, and my roomy had invited a cute English girl from his German class at the university to meet him. She had no idea what an American Thanksgiving was about, but she was a real trouper - had no problem with the failure of the host to put the oven on before putting the turkey in until realizing it at 10 PM - and lots of alcohol later. So - after an interesting party and dinner at midnight,+ my roomy and I walked back to our hole in the wall apartment in the Schwabing section of Munich. The next day I got a call from the cute English girl that I had met the night before and dreamed about all night. What a lucky break - we just celebrated our 36th anniversary! And am I still a lucky guy!!!!
