This is a rather nice American tradition, and you don’t have to be religious to be thankful so I have no issues with it on those ground. Here goes.

Firstly, of course, I am very thankful for having won another Hugo this year. I thanked a few special people that day, and should once again thank them and everyone who voted for me. I really can’t thank Kevin enough.

In addition I am very thankful to have been let back into the USA, and I’m especially thankful to have got to spend Thanksgiving with Kevin’s family, who are lovely people.

And finally, I am very thankful that my friend Jay Lake made it through cancer surgery yesterday. Here’s hoping he has a full recovery and many happy years of writing to come.
