A post-Thanksgiving of thanks

In addition to my family and friends, I'd like to thank the following:

--People having a genuine interest in reading Post. It's very nice to just tell somebody about a book and he or she is interested just because of the pitch. No DVD players, concert tickets, or vacations are necessary to bargain.
--Quarterly royalty statements from the book publisher. One of the bigger reasons I went with the publisher I went with.
--The breakfast taco place down my street. Amazing what happens when a place offers great food and the owners truly appreciate your business. What a novel concept.
--My dog for not peeing on my bed, so far, this year.
--Working a job where random strangers are not allowed in so they ask you tons of questions while you're trying to work.
--A nice, long street to run and walk on.
--LOST Season 4 for being awesome.
--The DVD selection at Movie Trading Company and Borders. All hail DVD prices $8-$12!

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
