    • A Thanksgiving tradition (and I don't mean turducken)

       November 19, 2007

    My family likes to torment me by threatening to make everyone declare what they're thankful for at Thanksgiving dinner (Thanksgiving dinner? Who am I kidding? We have Thanksgiving lunch, expertly timed to coincide with halftime of the football game). I don't mind telling people what I'm thankful for, I just don't like having to do it in the spotlight. So, when it's my turn at the table, I'll just point to this post ;-)

    • I'm thankful that I can bitch about the government without risking my life to do so
    • I'm thankful that I have the freedom to be myself
    • I'm thankful for all of the people that gave up their lives, their health and years of their life to safeguard that freedom
    • I'm thankful that it's my own intelligence and actions that will determine my successes and failures
    • I'm thankful for all of my family and friends that care about me even when I act like I don't want them to
    • I'm thankful for Brett Favre
    • I'm thankful that life is so relatively good that I have the luxury of caring about things like football and reality television

    I think that's a pretty good list - or at least a start. Now that I'm done, what about you all?

    I like your list. It's true that if we can spend time thinking about sports and reality Tv then things must be ok.

    Timed to halftime? I wish I was eating at your place. :) Good list Kris, and I echo your and Cherlynda's comment on things being pretty darn good.

    Yeah, our Mom is pretty amazing. I talked to her Monday night and she said the turkey is scheduled to be served at 1:30. The game starts at 11:30 and with the extra holiday festivities it should put us right on course, yet again.
