Enjoy you’re feasting, giving and praising… I’m spending some time with friends of friends this year… Here’s some things I’m thankful for (there’s a little sarcasm in a few of these):
- My health – even though I now have high cholesterol and have to watch LDL this holiday season (and going forward)
- All four seasons – except for the 110 heat with 90% humidity and sub zero temps in the winter… but I digress
- My friends and family
- New Experiences (especially in travel)
- NYC delivery of everything
- The Law
- My freedoms
- Quality beer brewers and wine makers
- Culinary delights and the love of eating well
- The internet. Thanks Al Gore!
- And most of all the music of the world that keeps me going when I’m down, shake my ass when I’m bored, reflect on my great memories, bob my head on the commute or just put a smile on my face
“It is therefore recommended … to set apart Thursday the eighteenth day of December next, for solemn thanksgiving and praise, that with one heart and one voice the good people may express the grateful feelings of their hearts and consecrate themselves to the service of their divine benefactor …”
~Samuel Adams, November 1, 1777 (adopted by the 13 states as the first official Thanksgiving Proclamation)
I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.
