I haven’t written on my blog for a long time...and it’s sad because I have a ton of items to report. So here are a few nuggets to bring everyone up to speed:
First, I want to report that I burned my hand using the iron almost 3 weeks ago. Lucky for me I had some frozen juice cans in my freezer that I could carry around for the next four hours, but my hand still took a full week to really heal. However, the tip of my middle finger is still hurting…I must have burned the bones.
And I agree with Mark Twain, who once said, “Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.”
Second, I moved into my new home and have been living in it for almost 3 weeks now. As most of you know, it’s always a risk moving into a new shelter, but this one is proving to be a very comfortable place to live (and watch games, right Chris? :-)). It was a lot of work putting the place together, however. But between my dad and I taking numerous days off from our regular jobs to work on it, and being fueled by our endless resource supply of free hamburger coupons from In N Out Burger, we were able to fix the place up quite nicely (Thanks for all of your help dad…and please ask mom to see if she can find some of those same coupons for Pizza Hut…or El Polo Loco).
My neighbor Ed and his wife Emmy are great people. Nobody has toilet-papered my house yet…so I take that as a universal welcome to the neighborhood—I really think I will enjoy living here (Don’t worry, Dave, I still miss watching Animal Planet with you at your house while you cuddle with your two pet squirrels. :-)).
Third, basketball season is upon us, the pride of UNLV’s athletic department. The Rebels are currently sitting 5-0 with dates with Cal and Florida St./Cincy this weekend. Assuming the Rebels will continue to take care of business on the hardwood this weekend they should easily crack the Top 25, where they have deserved to be from this season’s first tipoff.
Fourth, Thanksgiving Day is also upon us, my without-a-doubt most favorite holiday of the entire year. Honestly, who does not completely love Thanksgiving? Maybe my poor mom...
My mom is an incredible Thanksgiving meal-maker. I’m not really sure how she does it. It’s my belief and opinion that the Indians and pilgrims do not know what they’re missing here…but I plan on having a pretty good day tomorrow…thanks mostly to my dear mother. And while I’m on the topic of my mom, let me also just say that my mother is perfect.
So, to end this post I just want to mention that I love to feast, buffet style. But I also want to mention that we all have much to be thankful for…each one of us. Especially during difficult times like we see today. May we always remember the Source of all our blessings, and be thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!
