Thankful

To say my year has been eventful would be putting it mildly. It started with the passing of Kitty Samantha on New Year's Eve and then pretty much got worse from there.

But this isn't a thread for that kind of spiritual noodling. It's a thread for things I am thankful for. Top of the list: bosoms (Hi, idiomagic! Hee.). No, wait, let me start again: top of the list is having a roof over my head to call my very own and food in mine and the cats' bellies.

Secondly: City Of Heroes. The friends I have via that game have been of immeasurable help in keeping me from doing that big final logout more than once this year, let me tell you. Well, that and my extreme lethargy. I should add this is not to denigrate the contributions of you lot to my debatable sanity, I'm just sayin'.

Third, and my apologies to my more conservative friends, but: the fact that in a mere few months we will once and for all be shed of the sorriest fscking excuse for a president since Warren G. Harding. Because to probably misquote Bill Maher, "people were so tired of George Bush that seven years after 9-11 they said "Know what sounds good? A black guy with a Muslim name."

Fourth: kitties.

Fifth: Coffee, the Holy Caffeine.

I could go on and on, but I have to (as Garfield puts it) yawn and crick. So Lord yes, I am indeed thankful for all that.

Plus bosoms.

The Macy's parade has an.. uh.. unexpected guest!
