Thankful!

On Thanksgiving we give thanks to the things and people we take for granted.  This is perhaps the most meaningful Thanksgiving, and the first one I was not particularly looking forward to (first one without dad).  So I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks..

Thankful to the most important person in my life, my wife.  Don’t know where I’d be without her at this point in my life.  Probably having Thanksgiving at Pure Thai Cookhouse by myself staring at the wall.

Thankful to my mom who had a rough year.

Thankful to my daughters.  Couldn’t possibly be prouder.

Thankful for my lone black umbrella.  When you live with three women choosing a manly umbrella can be tough sometimes.

Thankful for my friends.

Thankful for Tacos.

These are mostly not in any particular order btw, otherwise tacos would have been much higher.

Thankful to live in such a multicultural city where I can say Bonjour in the morning patisserie, Shalom at lunch, and “Whoa, too spicy, where’s the hong nam man” (toilet in Thai) for dinner.

Thankful for Hockey and the NY Islanders, even though they stunk it up last night.

Thankful for Depeche Mode.  Greatest music gift in history.

Thankful to the person who invented Anti-Pervert Hairy Leg Stockings.  Makes holiday gift buying so easy for me.

Thankful to all the visitors who entrusted me on their precious vacation time and took my tours.

Thanks to the visitor who returned my black umbrella 6 months later.

Thankful to the Trip Advisor NY forum!  Not sure where I’d be without your support at this point.  Probably divorced, eating by myself at Pure Thai Cookhouse.

Thankful to the owner of Pure Thai Cookhouse!

Happy Thanksgiving!
