Eleven days and many in the US will be celebrating Thanksgiving. Families will be gathering together to stuff themselves with turkey, ham, and all the trimmings. Don't forget the pies and cakes! All to be washed down by good wine and in some cases the appropriate mixed drink. Since I'm a southerner may I suggest Long Island iced tea. After all, what's a good meal without iced tea. 

 

EAT MORE CHICKEN!!

However, the reason for this national holiday is to give thanks for all the blessings that you have benefited from in the past year. First and foremost we should give thanks that we made it another year. Especially in light of the political turmoil that all have faced since our new president was duly elected despite the wishes of some that now spend entirely too much time and energy trying to discredit the process since their choice was sent packing. If you are one of those have an extra Long Island iced tea or glass of wine or both. 

There are other things that you should be thankful for. That is unless you are one of the 100 that will be laid off from ESPN after this holiday. It is a shame that during it's heyday a company allows itself to get bloated because they are not keeping their eye on the ball. Pun intended. Possibly those in charge at ESPN should take ownership and at least give a or some gifts to the ones effected by their poor leadership. However, common sense tells me that this is as likely as certain groups accepting the POTUS as the properly elected leader. 

 

Whatever you are thankful for let your thanks be known as you enjoy the bounties that you are blessed with. Oh yeah, don't forget the Alka Seltzer and Beano.     

                                    Also, friends don't let friends drive drunk!!
