I could echo nearly everything that has been listed already. As a Captain in the USAF, I want to especially thank Airwolf for his comment about all of us in uniform. As you say grace around your table tomorrow, add a quick request for blessings on those men and women who won't be able to be with their families as they serve in locations all over the world.
Here's to a Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I am thankful for the chance to live on this earth, at this moment, right now. I have heard people complain sometimes that they "missed their moment", or that they "live in some very sorry times" - but the fact is that humanity as a whole has it better now than at any point before us. We have our worries and our problems, but they pale in comparison to think of the shoulders of the giants on which we stand, to get us here.
I am also thankful for my wife, my family, and my job - my health, my friends, and my hobby.

I'm thankful for my wife, who continues to carry my unborn child.
My unborn child, sex yet to be determined.
I'm thankful for my crazy dog, who despite the fact that she continues to poop on the bathroom rug everyday, I still love her, and she's still cute as a button.
Not being laid off, despite working in the Telecom industry, and for a company that has laid off 12,000 people in the past year.
My new house, which stays a mess, but we love it anyway.
My next book, Artificer's Handbook, which is just awesome, and a labor of love, is due out 1Q '03.
The D20 system, and Ryan Dancey.
The fact that I just found a copy of Sibelius at a music store that was going out of business for $175, when it normally sells for $600.
Mystic Eye Games and Thunderhead Games, and the fact that they apparently like my work well enough that they let me continue to do it.
Mouse and keyboard wrist and armrests that contain that gel stuff. I love that stuff.
The Onion
Antonin Dvorak, and all the great music that he wrote.
So much to be thankful for.
edit: I'm thankful this software lets me correct my mistakes.

I'm very fortunate to have many things to be thankful for:
- my gorgeous gamer girlfriend, who is also my best friend and has a great sense of humor
- my family, who has always been supportive of me, and who I have never fought with
- my girlfriend's family, who have welcomed and embraced me like one of their own kids
- my scottish terrier Murdoch
- finishing my PhD in Neuroscience for free (no debt!), and likely getting my dream job at my undergrad university as a professor in a year
- my good health
- my friends (both gaming and non-gaming) who have always been there for me when I needed them
- my doctoral advisor, who also happens to be about the coolest guy in the world, almost like a second dad to me
- always having enough cash to pick up the D&D/minis/game stuff I want
- ENWorld, as a great place to trade ideas and have friendly discussions
- and too many other things to list!

That's Latin for "cool"
- My beautiful, intelligent, highly successful girlfriend
- My wonderful family
- My friends (even the non-gamers)
- An utterly fantastic planet that the divine has blessed me to live upon
- And d20 Modern which I will use to hail firey bullets upon my unsuspecting PCs before I toss them into a possessed subway train that takes them directly to the tortures of the Abyss.
Happy Thanksgiving!
