Happy Thanksgiving 2025

Happy Turkey Day, everybuddy!

We made it.  The Holiday season starts in earnest.  My mom is making a dinner in North Austin, and we'll be there this evening.  Rumor has it she got three kinds of pie, which I am excited about, but for me it's about turkey, Jamie's stuffing (she's been working on it for several days), potatoes and whatever greens are on the table.  

I love me a Thanksgiving dinner.

Thankful for so much this year.  

As always, Jamie is first up.  Especially as she's taken care of me for *months* as I have this busted foot, so I can't drive, and for a while couldn't cook or clean.  She's done *everything*.  So, thanks, Jamie!  But she's also just Jamie, and that ain't bad.  So thankful for every day before and every day to come.

Thankful for a new gig I kind of love.

Thankful for my pals near and far.  Some of you I know mostly online, and some I barely text with but we get to hang out in person.  But a guy needs to count himself rich with how many people he can call a buddy.

Thankful for parents and family!  We are a small family, but we are mighty.  And the niece and nephew are growing up strong and smart.

I've got my health, if you don't count this foot.  Jamie's had a good year, and our parents are doing well.

This year we also adopted Emmylou, and she's been a delight every day.  Good dog.

just look at that cutie-patootie

And, if I may, I'm thankful for a lot of silly things, too.  Hey, I got two superhero movies I'd always dreamed of this year.  Not grateful for my bad financial management when it came to Superman merchandise, but here we are.

And if you you read to the end here, thanks!

Now get out there and eat your favorite foods and get a slice of pecan pie.  (And I say it "peh-cahn").
