I’m thankful for a lot of things. I have a fiancee who I love dearly, even if planning a wedding is overwhelming. I have a job I like, and that pays me well, which is more than most have. I have a family and friends that love me, and I’m pretty blessed.

Friends and Family, to help me remember that no matter what things will be ok. Music, to help me reduce the stress in my life. The experience of people who are older than me, because you can never learn too much from people who have been around the block a time or two. My health, because there are far too many people my age who are bed ridden and can’t get out of the hospital. The good Lord above for charting a course for me, even if I don’t know what it is yet. My 95 year old Great-Grandmother, who is just now getting old. The Armed Forces of the United States that allow us to BS with each other on this great site.

But my wife is the best person in the world:)

I’m a pretty blessed man. Good family (Yes, even with my teenagers, OK, sometimes with the teenagers,too.) and friends. I’ve got a job, a car, a house and clothes on my back. Food for my ever growing body. Even though it bring me pain to see some of their games I have a baseball team in my fair city of Wash.DC. A new GM who actually knows what he’s doing. ( We have to teach him how to negotiate) We’ve got players to look up to here finally. Zimm, Zimm, Stras, Desy, Espy, Wil “I am” Ramos, Storen, Clip,Lannon, Harper and all the other minor leaguers. I’d mention more but they might be gone by the spring. My only prayer for this next year is that the Lord lends my patience enough not to kill my teenagers. Otherwise, I’m good to go.

Thx Mr. & Mrs.Sickel where ever you are…

Thankful for my family, especially the newest addition. and to be employed in this economical enviroment. But most of all I’m thankful that the Orioles finally have a legitimate manager.

Who plays along with all my dorky baseball stuff. I wouldn’t be able to be nearly as interested in this as I am without a girl who could put up with this for as long as she has. And the rest of my family too. My best friends. Who are taking care of all of us (in a sub floating around in scary places) and taking care of their families like a good brother should
