Thanksgiving 2006

We just finished watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and it was good. There's something about this day leading into the holiday season that seems right...it's a good day, so warm and fuzzy feelings loaded. It kicks off all the celebrations and cheery family traditions and I like traditions.

A Thanksgiving tradition in Tarzan's family involves each person at the table saying one thing they are thankful for for for each of the three kernels of corn at their place. We aren't with his family this year (holiday sharing amongst the in-laws and all) but I would like to post my three kernels here:

1. I am thankful for Tarzan and the easy comfortable relationship that we have. While we have our share of spicy and heated moments we are at ease together, never dishonest or putting on airs for the other - we are the best of friends.
2. I am thankful for my job - though I grouch and complain about it most of the time - I'm thankful that I work in an office that designs good projects and that they trust me to manage so many at one time.
3. I am thankful that I live in The Jungle. People make fun because we have the potential for disasters on a regular basis and someone is always predicting "the big one" (that will give The Real Desert beachfront property) I have lived here for 12 years and if you are prepared and know what to do it's not a big deal really. I love The Jungle, always have: the weather, the culture, the possibilities, the environment, the life!

This is me wishing you a very very VERY

HAPPY

THANKSGIVING!!
