The Obligatory Thankfulness Post
I am thankful for so much; God has blessed me in so many ways I could write a book of thankfullness. Instead, I'll summarize some of the high points.
I'm thankful for my bride Rubi, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish for all eternity.
I'm thankful for our kids Lizzy, Alex, and Catherine: three very different but equally loveable, smart, and just plain cool.
I'm thankful for our families, hers and mine. We both have great parents and extended families and they are a true blessing to us both.
I'm thankful for my job, stressful as it is. At least I'm employed and have some semblance of job security - not everyone can say that.
I could go on and on, but I'll end with this quote that one of my bosses emailed the staff yesterday:
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."Enjoy the tryptophan coma!

Copying Kev's meme because my brain needs a break from work.
Ugh. Brain. Hurts.
1. Do you like blue cheese? No idea. Never had it.
2. Have you ever been drunk? Yeah. I don't drink much, so doesn't take much to get the job done. One cocktail and I'm callin' mom on the boot.
3. Do you own a gun? Nope.
4. What flavor of Kool Aid was your favorite? Red flavor, of course.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Depends on why I'm there.

15. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment? I seriously need to finish transcribing that dev tour, I want it over with so I don't have to stress over it anymore. I want to play LotRO. I think it's time for more cold medicine.
16. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink? Water, tea, mocha.
17. Current worry? Money, and that dev tour.

26. Can you whistle? Not very well.
27. Favorite color? Red.
28. Would you be a pirate? I doubt it, I like my creature comforts too well, and a pirate ship doesn't seem like it would have those to excess.
29. What songs do you sing in the shower? Whatever is stuck in my head at the time. (At the moment it's the version of "Dancing With Myself" that I heard on Glee.)
30. Favorite Girl’s Name? It's a toss up between Elizabeth and Catherine.

37. Revenge of the Nerds or Fast Times at Ridgemont High? What?

39. How many dogs do you have? Zero. I counted them twice to be sure.
40. Does someone have a crush on you? Yup!

44. What song do you want played at your funeral? I'll go with "Who Wants to Live Forever?", like Kev.
The end, back to work.

Trick or Treat?
Rubi had some kids come to the door on Halloween dressed up as... well, dressed up as teenagers.
That's just wrong.
Another blogger summed that practice up thusly:
If you're just going around not wearing a costume, then you're not trick or treating. At that point, you're just actively begging for food.I completely agree!
Granted, you're being proactive and going to people's houses to beg. You are the go getter of the homeless panhandler crowd.
Still, you're just begging for food.
Congratulations. You're dressed as a moron.
