I'm Thankful for a great many things this Thanksgiving.  A loving wife, kids and cats, new job, a good friends and hope for our future. 

The other thing that Bonn has pointed out more than once, is that The Boy is now back to being much more of himself than he's been for the better part of a year.  The other night he asked if I would take his picture for an online social meeting site for college aged kids.  I took about 30 or so and this was the one that Bonn and I liked the best.  (I'm still not happy with the way the blur came out in the background.  It looks far too forced.  I wanted to tweak it some more, but The Boy was anxious to get the photo up and online.  Apparently there was a young lady he was trying to, um, "meet")

So far today has been a busy one, with lots of driving and several  hours spent setting up for this weekend's show.  I drove the hour and a half to the show site, set up and then drove back home.  The deal was that Bonn was going to spend the afternoon taking The Boy out to Thanksgiving dinner and then do the last of the clean up on her jewelry.  When I got back, we'd load up again and head back up to the show town and spend the night in the hotel we had reservations in.

Well-hyped on too much caffeine, I drove back, listening to a CD mix that I sent off to two lj friends, and made it home in what seemed like far less time than it usually takes.  Bonn, however, was still hip-deep in stuff in her studio and decided we should just stay home tonight and she'd drive the way-too-early in the morning trip back up to the show.  I think she's forgotten that the show itself is 12 hours, we'll be there for an extra 2 hours to finish setting up and the drive will be another 1 1/2 hours, making it an almost 16 hour day. 

I'll be offline until late Saturday night.  Ya'll take care, now.  Ya hear?
