Thanksgiving Eve....Speak up for some REP
Tomorrow Mrs. Blowfish and I are off to Frankfort, KS, where we always go for Thanksgiving Day. Her mom was born there, and one of the old family homesteads is still there. It's a little shack of a house that they cram 60, 70 or more people into for Thanksgiving dinner, then some touch football up at the high school field, then back to the house for dessert.
I've had Thanksgiving in the front seat of my car from a paper plate for many of the last 20 years that I've been married to Mrs. Blowfish. When I was a kid, Thanksgiving meant my Mom and Dad, and me and my two sisters, around the dining room table with the good china, real silverware and crystal, and soft music, and the fireplace here in Stately Wayne Minor, the Blowfish Palace. My dad is gone now, all my family has moved hundreds of miles from KC. I'm the only one left. So for the last 20 years, it's Fankfort. Don't get me wrong, I love Frankfort. It's different, but in some ways, it's much more real, and much more gratifying. One tradition is, before you are allowed to fill a plate, you must say one thing you are truly grateful for. No joking around. Something that you truly are grateful for over the course of the last year. So, on this Thanksgiving Eve, tell us all truly one thing you're grateful for in the last year, and I'll rep till I run out of rep. Here's Mine: Thank You to the Kansas City Royals for ending 29 years of futility. It was a wonderful baseball season, and I enjoyed it so much, because it reminded me of how much I love baseball. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from Mrs. Blowfish, our Kitties, and me. |

I am thankful for a healthy wife and son. Wife and I enjoy our work. Son doing well in college. I have a huge list to be thankful for. I definitely have more to be thankful for than I deserve. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Wife and two amazing boys
And in all seriousness, even though it's down the list, this place. I think it's the best fan forum I've ever seen. |
