Thankful For...'08

As I stated here last year, I've always liked to list things that I am thankful for, both serious and amusing, on Turkey Day. And even though it's been a rough year in a lot of ways, there are still things to be thankful for:

- a wonderful wife in Staci, who is always there for me;
- friends and family, especially this time of year when we get to spend a little more time together;
- successful seasons for the Dodgers, Cowboys, and Penn State;
- the fact that "Lost," "24," and "Scrubs" will all soon be back on, saving a mostly horrible fall TV season.
- and lastly and most recently, the crazy lady who hit the car that just bought our hours-old flat screen TV.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thankful For...

One of my favorite holidays has always been Thanksgiving, mostly for the tasty dinner and Dallas Cowboys football. One of the things we would do as kids would be to make a list, half serious and half funny, of things we were thankful for. I've decided to revive that for this edition of BK's Blog. I am thankful for:

- Staci's & my first Thanksgiving as a married couple;
- The first Thanksgiving since 1998 I will be with Mary, and the 1st since 1992 that I will be with Dad;
- The 9-1 (hopefully) Super Bowl-bound Cowboys;
- The great friends that I have, who lift me up in tough times;
- Barry "Big Head" Bonds being indicted on perjury, ensuring that his cheating ass will never play baseball again;
- Being able to listen to all the great Christmas songs starting on Friday;
- A great job in baseball (oops, maybe I can be thankful for that at Christmas);
- A new hometown that I actually like, away from traffic and knock-in-blocs;


Hope everyone has a great Turkey Day, and go Cowboys!
