Happy Thanksgiving!
I like to recognize holidays by doing things like reading the Constitution on the 4th of July (I read the Declaration of Independence too, but the Constitution is more fun and results in more raucous discussion). On Thanksgiving, I usually generate a relatively random list of things I’m thankful for.
So here is this year’s list of things, great and small:
- A job
- A job I love
- A job I love that includes a blog
- Good friends
- Music
- Books
- Poetry
- Family
- Homemade gravy
- Potato sausage
- Good bread
- Coffee
- Surly Furious
- Wool socks
- Flannel sheets
- Calculators
- Radicals
- Conservatives
- Samosas
- State parks
- My snug little house
- (On a bus line)
- Independent bookstores
- Good graphic designers (who make fun graphics)
- Trees
- The song of the wood thrush
- Good neighbors
- Home mail delivery
- Minnehaha Parkway
- Cows
- The bog in Bemidji
- New bookshelves
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with food, family, laughter, and friends!
