What I’m Thankful for

When I was trying to think about what I would write for my last blog before Thanksgiving, I didn’t know which way to go. It was either name of my top 5 things to do on Thanksgiving, tell my favorite Thanksgiving memory or explain why the holiday is a commercial creation for grocery stores to make money.
I decided to just go with some of the things I am most thankful for. In no particular order:
1. I have a job that allows me to speak my mind.
2. No matter how upset people get with what I write, they return to see what I say next.
3. My family is alive and well, but never ask me for money.
4. My 25-year plan to own a DeLorean like the one in “Back to the Future” is still intact.
5. I am not related to Bernard Madoff, Sarah Palin, Lady Gaga, Sammy Sosa, Glenn Beck or Tim Tebow.
6. I am almost cured of my fear of dogs and hot sauce.
7. I never had a Jheri Curl.
8. Women do not find me totally displeasing.
9. The Dallas Cowboys and L.A. Lakers both have shots to win world titles in the next nine months.
10. I didn’t jump off a bridge when Oklahoma lost to Miami, Texas and Texas Tech in the same season.
What are you thankful for?
