Happy Thanksgiving & some funny stuff.

What am I thankful for?

• I’ve got a wonderful family and great friends.
• My job, which for the most part I still love.
• I get to live in a house I really like.
• My Jeep.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving, and a whole lot of stuff to be thankful for.

I’m thinking of painting my Jeep this color.  Yeah, just kidding.  Pepto Pink, in my opinion, is not a good color for any car.

One of the most ironic typographical errors.  Or was it intentional?

French Club meetings at my school are taking an odd turn. 

There’s an app for everything, and one of my students had fun with this one and a picture of me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What’s bigger than a bread box?

My Thanksgiving Day Tribune, that’s what.

And still there are people that fail to realize that the real job creators are the consumers.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble, gobble.

Sugar hangover.

I woke up this morning with a huge headache, dry mouth and upset stomach.  All the symptoms of a night of heavy alcohol consumption.  Problem is, we didn’t drink any alcohol at all last night, not even a glass of wine with dinner. 

What I woke up with was a sugar hangover.  Because my A1c was just below the diabetic level a few years ago, I’ve almost completely cut out sugar and drastically reduced carbs in my diet.  I’ve brought my A1c level down to just a skitch above normal.  This gives me the leeway to indulge when relatives bring some incredible home made cheesecake and pumpkin, pecan and lemon meringue pies to Thanksgiving dinner.

Except that this leaves me with a sugar hangover the next day.

Well, at least I don’t make a fool of myself when I’m on a sugar high.

Pool table spelunking.

… Thanksgiving.  What a great day.  Spent it with the family, ate a lot of good food, had a couple really good heart-to-heart conversations with the next generation, watched “Uncle Buck” and played Clue.  Both my brothers were there, my sister, almost all the nieces and nephews and their kids. 

… At one point my older brother was downstairs playing with all the kids, and somehow a little soccer ball, a little bit smaller than a pool ball, got lost inside the pool table.  The first any of us upstairs heard of it, my older brother had my younger brother’s 8 year old completely inside the table, crawling around looking for the soccer ball.  My 6 year old grand-nephew was trying to climb in the other side of the table to help.  It was hilarious.  I don’t think they ever got the ball,  but at least nobody got stuck in there.

… All in all an excellent day, as any time with my family is.  I love you guys, wouldn’t trade any of you for anything.

And now, for something a little bit different…

… You know what 78.3% of all American blogs are going to say, at some point, today.  So I’m not.  Instead I’m going to wish you a happy Algeria Accords Day (from the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome & Principe) and a happy Proclamation Day (from Mongolia).
… So:

Hope you're all having a great day!
