November 27, 2014--Thankful

My father used to say I was a lucky boy. Of course he meant, and trained me to say, that this was because I had a wonderful father. Well . . .

But in fact I was and am a luck boy. And for that I am thankful.

For family and friends (including a still remarkable 106 1/2 year old mother), for the life I am fortunate to be able to live, for reasonably good health, for the best wife and pal in the western wold, and for those of you who, here, keep up with my thoughts and jottings.

I plan to have a happy day and hope you will as well.
