On the eve of this Thanksgiving Holiday, I am thankful for the following (and more):

1)  My wife and I's marriage.  Truely, it is the foundation upon which the rest of my life is built.

2)  The continued health and well-being of my children.

3)  A incredible circle of kind friends who surely deserve a better subject for their kindness than I.

4)  A great community to live in.  Central Wisconsin is a wonderful place for young families.

5)  The ability to use my creative gifts for fun and profit.

6)  The fact that I have a job, period.

7)  The fact that you find what I do on the air tolerable enough to listen to.  Sometime you even find it [GASP] entertaining.  Your listenership is always appreciated.

7)  The incredible selection at the Marathon County Public Library.  By the way, they're only 30-thousand "borrows" away from lending 1-million books in 2009.  Reserve a good read here:  http://www.mcpl.us/

8)  The fact that my supervisor and I finally have our own printer in our office.  No more scripts being stolen!

and finally...

9)  I am thankful for all of the opportunities that God has put before me.  I know not why I have been given what I have received.  I only know that I will endeavor to do good by these gifts and hope that it is enough to be worthy.
