I will be spending Thanksgiving here with the parents and my youngest brother. I never see my daughter on Thanksgiving Day or Xmas - the in-laws always take priority. But I'm good with that, a little miffed maybe, a little heart broke perhaps, but I can deal with it. But the worse possible thing that could possibly happen has reared its ugly head - a tragic epitaph on the scrolls what bear my life's history....,

My Satellite Tv is on the fritz! and will remain that way till Friday! OH THE HORROR!!! A Travesty gone completely awry! I held my Tv receiver box close and sobbed the night away. The poor piece of crap is about to go belly up. I looked into its sad pathetic little blinking green light trying to be brave.., thinking, 'you poor little thing - please don't go - we have so many more episodes to watch.., of, Smallville, Stargate Atlantis, Psych, Burn Notice.., and oh the old re-runs I dote on like The Rifleman, The Rockford Files, Star Trek.., and the cool educational shows on history, the mysteries of the universe, time travel sciences and oh so much more.'

Last I checked - its little green light is still aglow, as it struggles to be brave and maintain a picture - ok the picture looks a little psychedelic, partly washed out but its a sign its still with us.
**dave wipes a tear away - clearing throat** If it can just hang on till Friday.., till friday.

In the meantime - I'm pigging out on Thanksgiving!!!! YEAH!

On a more seriously note - we have a lot to be Thankful for - friends, family, pets, a roof over our heads, that at least for now we live in freedom. Oh and we have lots of cool Tv shows to watch - some of us do - some of us cant.
