My amazing, gorgeous, intelligent, successful, talented, wise, and supportive wife. The love and joy of my life.
My family--my big, talkative, super-sharp, eccentric, and beloved family. Three brothers, three sisters, two parents enjoying their third decade of romance.
My friends are varied, bold when needed, prudent when called for, longsuffering, loyal, and a remarkable blessing.
My health is sounder than ever and I'm blessed with a face/mouth made for slapping, as my mother was wont to point out in my youth.:chuckle: I won't give my enemies the satisfaction of ever seeing me sick! Or dead, for that matter. (Singularity! Singularity!)
My ramshackle, exasperating, yet somehow charming house provides me warmth, comfort, a fine yard, a beautiful riverside view, and many fond memories, as well as more to come.
The car is new and runs like a champ. Always good.
The dog is also new, and just over a year old. She is a lovable, goofy, already-devoted, charming, incredibly cute, and very intelligent pit bull. And beware, for she will lick your hand to death once she figures out you're one of the good guys.
The cats are maddening and impossible to hate. So goes their species.
And yes, I'm quite thankful for Christmas, the most wondrous time of the year.
