CONVERGENCE

Once every 70,000 years or so, US Thanksgiving and Hanukkah converge. It does seem strangely fate-like that this is happening the same week that Iran has finally agreed to stop progress in its nuclear program.

If I believed in predestination, like the Presbyterians of yore, I could say that perhaps God has a sense of irony. 

Since I believe that any progress is better than no progress, I will drink a Thanksgiving toast to peace in the Middle East.
