Today I'm thankful for ...

… a good night’s sleep.

… television with Thanksgiving Day parades and football.

… Paste Magazine.

… parents who’ve always been caring, supportive and willing to listen.

… my brother, and his wonderful new wife.

… music (on this day, mostly Ben Folds, Toby Lightman, Paste samplers and Blessid Union of Souls).

…My mom’s amazing cooking …mashed potatoes … and her prayers.

… good health.

… a job.

…owning a house.

… Grandmas & grandpas, uncles, aunts and cousins.

… Rummy Royal.

… Mountain Dew.

…a durable car that puts us up with our cross-country holiday travels.

… puzzles.

… the coolest, caring, most fun, best in-laws a guy could hope for.

… PBS and Dave Matthews Band concerts.

… coming home … and going to sleep.
