I am thankful for…

Busting red paper caps on the sidewalk with a rock
Teachers who would actually play the movie backward after the reel ended
Being told by Leslie in 4th grade that I was very creative
The immature giggles I still get when I see a can of “Beanie Weenie”
Drinking the sugary milk left over from a bowl of Froot Loops
The eternal mystery of what “Froot” actually is
The crackles and pops from the beginning of a song on a vinyl record
The crackles and pops from the extra big Pop Rocks when you bite them
The death flirting goodness of a chicken fried steak
Schoolhouse Rock…the only place that truly helped me understand adverbs
Lolly lolly lolly
The gentle smack of a perfect Frisbee catch
The sweet SKIIIIZZZZZZZZZZ sound of a Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robot knockout punch
Watching my kids do just about anything
Beating my kids at videogames
The clinically unexplainable love my wife still has for me
Anyone taking the time to read the crazy stuff I write.

Thanks!
