The Second White Flight
A Thanksgiving Unlike Any Other
“Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small Here's to the losers, bless them all” -Frank Sinatra
