Happy Feckin’ Thanksgiving: so, what are you thankful for?

Okay kids, we’re going to go around the table and everybody is going to say what they’re thankful for.

Except instead of doing what we normally do, where we say the appropriate and expected things (like I’m thankful for my family, which may be sort of true, but what you’re probably mostly thankful for is that your family lives in a different town and you only have to see them twice a year), we’re going to say what we’d like to say.

I’ll go first.

  • I’m thankful that, for probably the first time in my life, I’ve been able to hack through the noise and bullshit this year and make my way to the brink of real professional opportunity.
  • I’m especially thankful for those people who have, through the years, helped me overcome the fact that I grew up in a state (and nation) that spends on education like a crack whore spends on public radio contributions.
  • I’m thankful for Ronan, the coolest dog in the world.
  • As I head off to do T-Giving with the extended family, I’m thankful that beer takes the edge off.
  • I suppose I’m happy that not having a sweet disposition isn’t everything in life.
  • And I’m thankful that Randy Moss and the Raiders found each other.

Happy holiday. Go Broncos and Go Whoever is Playing the Cowboys and Lions.
