News, but not the serious kind
What I’m thankful for today…

People say to me, “Bob, what are YOU thankful for on this Thanksgiving?” and I tell them plenty of stuff, because I am truly blessed.
I’m thankful for family, friends, home and health, and a chance to entertain people with this blog, which I may actually start doing any day now.
I’m also thankful that as of 2:30 p.m. today I haven’t caught even the briefest glimpse of the Macy’s Parade, and that I live in a country where nobody can force me to listen to ukulele music.
But I guess most of all, I’m thankful that I’m not either of these guys in these pictures… Life is great!

I know we don’t have Thanksgiving down here, but I’m thankful for all you crazy Yanks who actually do, occasionally, keep me entertained.
Thanks, that’s touching, LMR, but aren’t you also thankful you’re not wearing a hat like these?
I can’t force you to click on this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSed 1K-QNMc…But, if you don’t you might be sorry.
Actually, I think they’re kind of cool.But you are talking to a girl who, for Halloween, dressed as an escaped mental patient, to the extent of spraying ‘Mental Asylum’ on her dressing gown.I have a weird definition of cool.
LMR, We had a few of your Kiwi neighbors with us for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. They sure did enjoy it. Wait, maybe it was the beer they enjoyed. I forget.BG, I am very thankful that a) I’m not wearing one of those hats and b) nobody will ever snap a photo of me wearing one of those hats, regardless of how much medication I take.
And I am thankful for this blog, that makes my dreary days in office worthwhile…I am thankful for the meds that I keep having now and again, like clockwork… and I am thankful my folks dont know of this addiction…I am thankful for ALL the shoes snaps BG has been kind enough to share…I am also thankful to the readers of this blog series for thinking (hopefully) that I share their wacky sense of humour…I think i should go back to bed…
Wasnt there a mashed-potatoes-and-peas-in-gravy hat? I would have liked that…
I’m not American myself but I’m thankful this site and blog get through the company firewall
Shhhhh!! Don’t tell my boss!I’m also thankful for Shra, and LMR and everyone else who comments and makes a lurker like me smile and say ‘I wish I’d thought of that’.E.
Awww E. That’s so sweet.Hey BG ~ I think that gives me 2 fans. I’m catching up to you awful quick!But seriously… shucks.
I am getting emotional here…
Also, Dave – I didn’t think that sheep liked beer!
