Thanksgiving, the big day!
The big day of family has arrived. The turkey is in the oven and the side dishes whatever they may be are cooking away. The parade is on the television and the table is set for the good china and silverware in a festive way. As the day wears on and getting closer to dinnertime you begin to notice that nobody has arrived or even sent a message of any kind. You wait awhile longer, but dinner is ready, and no one is here. You check your phone and there are no messages. Well, Happy Thanksgiving to me, let's eat.

What a Thanksgiving?
Like a discarded fallen old leaf for this is how I feel most of time on this holiday known as Thanksgiving. No one really says "Happy Thanksgiving" to me. I sit and listen, but I have nothing to add to anyone conversation for they all have memories that I do not have. They go out and I join, but they always head back into the house. I really do not fit in down here. I feel alone in a crowd of family. I would rather be totally alone that alone in a crowd. Alone in a crowd is just horrible.

Exposed
'Exposed' is a book in my opinion for young and old readers. Keith Wain has written a book that is about friendship and community. It is a mystery about what is happening at and on a vacant lot that is starting to have various ramifications on various people who tread.

Online Student Ratings of Instruction
Here is a book I read for graduate school edited by editors D. Lynn Sorenson and Trav D. Johnson. It is all about how professors and students evaluated online courses from paper and pencil to a computer form. Which worked best since most colleges are primarily distance learning schools mostly.
