"Thankful"

I am thankful for:

1) My old Buick Park Avenue which has 152,000 miles and is showing signs of wear and tear.

2) I am thankful for Golden Pond, my escape from the real world.

3) I am thankful for TCM, which shows classic films from yesterday. With no commercials.

4) I am thankful for the Hootster, who introduced me to blogspot.

5) I am thankful for my friend in southern Florida who goes by the moniker of ibbq4you2.

6) I am thankful for Rockhead and pictruandtru, two members from the Yahoo bored.

7) I am thankful for NFL football and Major League baseball.

8) I am thankful for the memories afforded to me by the Boston Celtics of the 80's. With Larry Bird, the Chief, D.J., Kevin McHale et al.

9) I am thankful for Bobby Cox and the Atlanta Braves who went from wrst to first in '91 and have been winning titles ever since. The last 2 years-well, nobody's perfect.

10) I am thankful for my computer, because I can google to find articles of interest; view youtube classics; and write a column with an alias known as v.c.

11) I am thankful for Steverino and Slippery and to anyone who sends me an email.

12) I am thankful for my 2 kids and Kitty. And everyone in the family, including my liberal sister, Olga.

13) And lastly, I am thankful I can write this "Thanksgiving" message.

Great list. And thanks, by the way.
I'm thankful also -- for memories of the good old days.

I reacall once when we were having lunch you said "How are your blackeyed peas?"
"Okay," said I.
"Yeah. Mine are okay, too. But they aren't delicious. Blackeyes need to be delicious.

You got up from the table, went back to the line and pulled the blackeyes. I don't know what you did, but whatever it was made the delicious instead of just "okay."

It was a great lesson in quality control. And I haven't forgotten.

Thanks for including me on the list. Had some first row balcony seats for Mrs. Rock, Son #2, and yours truly for Romomania and the Boys Thursday afternoon. It was cold!!!!!!! Hope you and Hoots had a great Turkey day. I know I did cause it was another year of not working all week trying to top last years sales at Thanksgiving. Life is good. Rock on Luby's
