Episode Description

We all know people who always see a glass as half empty. It is tough to be around them and their unrelenting pessimism. Then there is the other bunch, those bright, sunshiny, "half-full" types, who always see the best in everything. They can be equally exhausting with their irritating enthusiasm.

I spend time in both places, depending on the day. But if I had to choose one team to join forever, well, that's easy.

One of my favorite things about my favorite American holiday is simply its reason–a national day of thanks. Thanks for what and why? And thanks to whom? Not to mention how. Is pigging out and watching football synonymous with expressing gratitude? Those half-empty types might wish it were, but of course, it's not.
