Happy Thanksgiving all. Wow, this year has really flown by! It seems like yesterday it was July 4th and we're all hot and sweaty and now were cold and frostbitten!
President Lincoln set aside the 3rd Thursday of November as a time for us to give thanks for all that we have and all the bounty this country has given us. So in keeping with the holiday here's a list of what I'm thankful for.

I'm thankful for a loving wife, a beautiful and talented daughter and my siblings. All of them have made my life richer.
I'm thankful for a job that I love. Not many people can say that. I love what I do and I love that i'm helping provide care for veterans.
I'm thankful for the friendship I have with my brother Mason's, the members of the local scale model club and for those that attend the Tuesday aviation movie night at the airport (more on that later). They all are great friends that are a very important part of my life.
I'm most thankful for the friendship I have with my buddy James. We've been friends for 20 years and even though we live several thousand miles apart we still remain close. Heck, we fly on flight sim every Sunday.
So there you have it. I have so much to be thankful for and I hope you do as well. So Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
