Giving Thanks

It’s Thanksgiving the most American of holidays. You eat too much and watch the Detroit Lions on TV. Even if you don’t like football you kind of have them on in the background (We miss you John Madden!). It’s tradition and it’s one of the little things we have to be thankful for.

On this cold Thanksgiving Day I want to offer thanks for some things in my life. I am thankful that for last fifteen years I have been able to make a living without a job. That I have been married to the most wonderful person – who for reasons I cannot fathom puts up with me and generally lets me run amuck and has stood by me for the last 32 years. That’s some special stuff.

  If you are an Alabama fan you have lots for which to be thankful for today. You can be thankful that Paul Bryant once prowled the sidelines for our team. He is a legend and a person with all of his flaws that we can cherish. You can be thankful that Nick Saban decided that Tuscaloosa was a better place to coach than Miami.

  If you are an Alabama alum you can be thankful that you got to spend some quality time in Tuscaloosa. You got the rich experience of attending classes at the University. I, myself was, and I guess, always will be a member of the Mallet Assembly, a Malleteer as we like to say. That along with my general experience on campus enriched me more than I could ever repay. I am truly thankful for that.

  Today is a wonderful day in the United States, another place with lots of flaws, but all in all a pretty darn good place. I am thankful that I am an American and can live in this swell country of ours, which allows us to watch football on multiple channels and other stuff that pretty much nobody else on the planet can do. So if you happened onto the site today. Thank you – and thanks to Floyd and Joni for giving me this opportunity lo those many years ago.
