My wife has always made everyone at the Thanksgiving table go through this exam so I thought, why not!?

I am thankful that no matter what mother nature throws at us this winter, most of us will be snuggy warm due to wonderful 300 million year old black rocks!

Happy T-day to all!
I'm thankful to be on this earth with my family. than usual. Both my dad and my father-in-law are working at it too and thankfully getting by.
Dinner tomorrow will be with a smaller group but it will be a great day. First one I'll be conscious enough to enjoy in 8 years, but I'm thankful to be employed too.

Big game tomorrow, Phillipsburg-Easton is one of the longest running cross state high school football games. ESPN broadcast their 100th game live in 2006.

Go P'BURG!
Having Thanksgiving dinner at the sister-in-laws house near home. Then heading to Phillipsburg, NJ for the weekend. My 50th high school class reunion is on Saturday night. 243 graduated, I wonder how may are left? Some are attending the game tomorrow. Yes, to go Go P'BURG! I see you even got one of the school colors in there. :-) Say hello to your father-in-law, my high school calculus teacher. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
