I don't need a holiday to remind me that, by all rights, I should be dead now and it's only luck, help and determination that got me this far.
And anyway, my family (with exceptions) annoys the hell out of me. I learned from one of my new co-workers that my Uncle has a huge X-mas party every year- a decades-long tradition- my new pal noted that :"there's an awful lot of drinking at those parties."
It's funny that Uncle would have an annual Holiday party and not even mention it to me...maybe it's for my self-preservation. His wife and in-laws are...how to say this politely? Unbearable?
I never stop being grateful for my friends either. I'll be spending this evening with my friend Ron and his family, which will be much, much better than staying home alone.
Instead of going Hallmark on easy targets, I'm gonna give thanks to some things that don't receive enough appreciation.
1) TOMATILLOES

2) SUITCASE DRUMS

Anyway, from time to time I encounter bands that use luggage as percussion and I'm always grateful for the good-spirited nostalgia that accompanies their baggage.
(Tech note : A SM58 works better than the D112 pictured above)
3) BLUE

I think Blue speaks for itself. Thanks, Blue!

In my opinion, there are no real obligations for blog posts. But I like the idea of remmebering to be thankful for the odd things in life. Me, I'm thankful for cinnamon candies.
