Thanksgiving

It is the season of giving thanks:
  • for life, family, friends.
  • for children, birth and by marriage, and grandchildren, birth and by marriage, present and future.
  • for gatherings where blended families celebrate each other's presence.
It is a time for remembrance for those not present:
  • for ancestors gone before and relationships broken.
  • for those whose lives are at a physical distance - for Jennifer and Riley, for Andrew, for Tom and Kathy and Andrea.
  • for those whose responsibilities keep them working - for Sarah and Kat.
It is a time of prayer
  • for those unemployed and those in fear of unemploment - for Ryan and us all.
  • for those in pain - physical and not.
  • for those touched by the mystery of life and death.
For this, O Lord, we pray.

As a lobbyist in Washington DC, I'd just finished up a meeting with a Congressman when I stopped to use the restroom. After washing my hands, I stepped over to the hand dryer and noticed that someone had taped a note to the machine. The note said,
Push button for message from Congress.

very polically incorrect

I rear-ended a car this morning. I knew it was going to be a REALLY bad day. The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF! He looked up at me and said,
I am NOT happy!
So I said,
Well, which one ARE you then?
That's how the fight started. - BROOKSBY1
