Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. Today is Monday, November 21st, 2022.

And I'm the host of the show, Kara Santa Maria. So for the American listeners and those who have adopted this holiday around the world, happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope that you are having a wonderful time with your family or with your chosen family or maybe you're alone and hopefully that is your choice to do. I'm thinking about you. I am going

back home. I'm recording this before the holiday. I'm going back home to visit

my chosen family back in Los Angeles.

So I'm thinking about you and I just want to share how grateful I am

for all of you who continue to stick with me year after year on the show. I do want to give a shout out to my top tier patrons.

This is a total gratitude shout out. So this week I want to thank Daniel Lange, David J. E. Smith, Mary Niva, Brian Holden, David Compton,

Gabriel F. Hramile Gonzalez, Joe Wilkinson, Leonard Prince, Pasqualee,ilati, Patrick Flynn, and Orica Hagman, they are within the top

tiers.

But I also just want to kind of randomly pick a few people here to tell you how grateful I am to

you, and that includes, oh, we got lots of Greg's. people here to tell you how grateful I am to you.

And that includes, we got lots of Greg's,

maybe Greg Fife Bell or Hall.

I'm grateful for all of you.

I'm grateful for Jeunette.

I'm grateful for Julie Doncaster. I'm grateful for Sarah Bronstein and Terry

Masters and I'm grateful for Phil Stark and Rochelle Gardner Rowe.
