This post is supposed to be a thing of happiness, love & fun, especially during this time of year, so I'll just get right to it and wish everyone a "Happy Thanksgiving!"
Along with that, unfortunately for myself and my family, a new kind of darkness has entered our lives. Since Pop died, I've always been here for my Mom. She's near 90 now, and should be enjoying quiet loving days at home with her surroundings. Yet, our peaceful lives are invaded by terror.
It's a terror that lives right next door to us. A woman with murder in her soul and she hides it behind a sweet facade. Behind that facade she is a woman who belongs to a known hate group for which I will leave here as nameless as her, along with not quoting some of the hate speech I've seen her state publicly on social media.
It's simply amazing to me now to try and understand that hate such as this is so close to us. I feel it upon my doorstep as we have been threatened by her. It's such a horrible shame, because for me, I believe that Hate is simply that: Hate. It doesn't matter what race or sex you are, I believe that you either exercise a force for good or a force for evil. It's not what your body appears to be that is you, it's what your soul is all about. That is what counts and you can use it to channel peace and love or not.
So this is America in the 21st Century... A far cry from what I thought it would be when I was a kid watching "Star Trek" in 1966... Man was going to the Moon... there was so much turmoil going on back then, yet I felt there was also so much hope...and I saw it with my Grandmother who was born in the 19th Century.
I makes me ask myself, what can I be thankful for on this day into the future, when all Hell seems ready to be cut loose? Yes, I can be still thankful; I'm absolutely nothing like my American neighbor...

*No discussion of the film "Werewolf of London" [1935] is complete without Henry Hull's relative, Cortlandt Hull (shown below with Forry Ackerman) and mention of Cortlandt's "Witch's Dungeon" which is also home to a wonderful figure tribute to Henry Hull's characterization (above).
