things to be thankful for. maraming salamat.

Once again, it's Thanksgiving up here in the Great White North.

As Canucks all over Canuckville celebrate with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, poutine, etc., I've come up with a list of things we all should be grateful for...


  • falling asleep watching a tv show on a lazy afternoon without a care in the world, because you're with your dad, who is so awesome, he can protect you from the monsters even in his sleep...

  • taking pictures with your sis, even when that smartass camel decides it would be fun to bonehead the shot...

  • looking at bling with your cousin Jess, while your bro tries to kick Jess's boyfriend's ass at Wii Sports Resort...

  • having an oldie-time blacksmith pound out a nail for you to take home and NOT hammer into your bedroom wall...

  • a lovely new personalized cat pillow that you and your Mom decorated for the mental cat, who didn't say thank you because she just expected that she deserved gifts...

  • driving a go-kart that matches your pretty yellow party dress, at your buddy's birthday party...

  • riding an oldie-time tractor even if it is indoors, because you decided it was time to trade up from go-karts...



  • visiting with Gramma, who, if you didn't stop her, would spend the entire visit looking for cookies just so she could have something to give to you... aw...

  • enjoyin' The Forks and struttin' around in your fly fresh hoodie, because it's the place to see and be seen, yo...

  • pretend mouse burgers for your stuffie cat, because the rest of your stuffies are vegetarian...

  • priceless beloved friends, who invite you over,


    ... ply you with booze, and cook so much delish meat for you that you blissfully die from the meat sweats...

    ... yummmm...
  • racing up... from the river... toward your Dad and Mom at the top of the bank... because you can... and it's beautiful out... and you're so happy and alive...


  • Happy Thanksgiving!!!
    May you have many things to be thankful for...
