11/27/08: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Each year we give thanks for all the good things in our lives. I'm thankful for my friends, my family, my lovely wife, my silly dog. I'm thankful that I'm still relatively healthy, still employed, still have at least a couple dollars left in my 401K. Thankful that my brothers are coming over for Thanksgiving dinner, that Stephie is cooking a beautiful bird, and it's a beautiful day outside.
But mostly this year I'm thankful that my Dad's OK. As some of you know, Dad went in for a quadruple bypass and valve replacement at the end of October and there were some complications which kept him in the hospital much longer than planned. He's home now, as you can see from the picture, and it looks like he's going to be OK. He has a sackful of medicine to take and the plan is for him to go to therapy three days a week until his body recovers from the trauma of the surgery. But he never lost his sense of humor, even when he wasn't doing too well, and I believe that's an important part of a successful recovery. It's going to be a while until he's completely back to normal, but we're willing to wait for him!
11/19/08: "The 2008 National Medal of Arts to
Stan Lee, for his groundbreaking work as one of America's most prolific storytellers, recreating the American comic book. His complex plots and humane super heroes celebrate courage, honesty, and the importance of helping the less fortunate, reflecting America's inherent goodness." Excelsior!
11/04/08: OK, so Howard's not running this time, but today
is Election Day 2008, so VOTE! Vote like your life depends on it. It may not, but your country sure does!
