Question of the Day:
Read: To What Piece of Technology Would You Write a ‘Love Letter’?
By KATHERINE SCHULTEN

Write a three paragraph letter supporting your opinion. Please check grammar, spelling and punctuation. Post it on your Blog.

Try your hand at writing a similar “love letter” to the piece of technology that means the most to you, whether it’s an iPod you own or a computer, television, camera, or cellphone you covet. Like David Pogue does, address the device directly and describe the details that make it “something special” to you. (You needn’t write about the tech specifics of the device unless you want to; instead, you might concentrate on how this device improves, or could improve, your life.)

You may write a three stanza poem or a three verse song or rap instead.
"iPhone!!!" Mr. Viereck

10 Memorable Thanksgiving Day Quotes
Thanksgiving Quote #1    John Fitzgerald Kennedy
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
Thanksgiving Quote #2    Edward Sandford Martin
Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.
Thanksgiving Quote #3    Erma Bombeck
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
Thanksgiving Quote #4    J. Robert Moskin
Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings.
Thanksgiving Quote #5    James Smith
It is delightfully easy to thank God for the grace we ourselves have received, but it requires great grace to thank God always for the grace given to others.
Thanksgiving Quote #6      W.T. Purkiser
Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Quote #7    Phillips Brooks
Stand up, on this Thanksgiving Day, stand upon your feet. Believe in man. Soberly and with clear eyes, believe in your own time and place. There is not, and there never has been a better time, or a better place to live in.
Thanksgiving Quote #8    Wilbur D. Nesbit
Forever on Thanksgiving Day the heart will find the pathway home.
Thanksgiving Quote #9    O. Henry
There is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.
Thanksgiving Quote #10    John Greenleaf Whittier
Ah! on Thanksgiving day.... When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more, And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before. What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye? What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?
