(I got bored watching my wife making deviled eggs and griping that all she has to work with is “Kosher Dill” pickles, rather than just plain dill pickles. Like anyone who isn’t Jewish would be able to tell the difference… *shrug*)
We - and by “we”, I mean all four of us here at Drumwaster’s Rants - would like to wish you all the very happiest of Thanksgiving Days.
For those of you who are here at home, please remember to include a prayer for those who are serving overseas, whether they are in the Danger Zone or not.
I am thankful for:
- my wife, who is the joy of my heart.
- my family, who bring me joy and contentment, and just enough aggravation to make me appreciate the joy and contentment.
- my nation, which is the only nation in all of History to actually have the power to take over the world, yet refuses to do so, simply because “it wouldn’t be right”.
- the recent elections, because we have finally sent a message that we’re “mad as hell, and we’re not gonna take it anymore” to the Islamofascists (who would love the chance to kill us, simply because we’re taking a religious day that doesn’t revolve around Allah)
- the troops in Fallujah, who are the individuals who are sending that message.
- finally, I am thankful for each and every one of you that comes by here to visit, and those that leave their opinions while keeping it civil, even if we might disagree.
Now, go eat some turkey (or “tofurkey”, or “turducken”, or ham or duck or whatever entree you have cued up) and mashed potatoes and those little sweet pickles and potato salad and play some football and watch some football.
Me? I’m going to watch the funniest Thankgiving episode of all time.
Happy Thanksgiving!
