I'm not usually sappy but...

I Am Thankful For...

For the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching TV, because that means he is at home and not on the streets.

For the taxes I pay, because it means that I am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party, because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the sunshine.

For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.

For all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking, and that I have been blessed with transportation.

For my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.

For the lady behind me in my place of worship when she sings off key, because it means that I can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that I am alive.

and finally....

For too much e-mail, because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.

The Fighting 69th

I took Aidan to Gettysburg, and asked him to take a picture of me at the 69th Monument. (It's an Irish thing.)
I should have given clearer instructions than "take a picture of me with the monument.

Pictures from Black 47

Jen and I went to see Black 47 a few months back.

It was a small theater, and we were in the front row!!

Can't wait to see them again in October.
