Back to Episodes“Franksgiving” and “infamous” Macy’s balloon incidents
Description
The news is filled with Thanksgiving trivia, from today’s average gathering size (seven) and caloric intake (3,150–4,500 calories), to holiday travel statistics, to facts about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (along with eight “infamous” balloon incidents), to “61 hot takes to fight about at Thanksgiving.” The English words “think” and “thank” are both derived from an ancient Indo-European root “tong,” meaning “to feel or think.” As I think about my life and the world, I find abundant reasons for thanks. I’d like to share three of them with you, each a simple fact inspired by a story in the news.
