User blog:Banningk1979/The ol' Obligatory Thanksgiving Blog

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there! Before I prepare for a day of gluttony and football, (just kidding, my ass has to go to work today...) I figured I'd do the classic, "What I'm thankful for," type of blog.

So, first and foremost, I am thankful for my family, my beautiful wife Neomi and my son Tristan. They are the reason that I do everything that I do, from working extra hours on Thanksgiving to trying to become a published writer. I am very thankful for this community, who have fostered my good, bad and ugly attempts to putting my plots and thoughts in literature form around here.

All the admins, thanks for all the hard work you do around here. Cleric, for publishing four of my stories in his most recent We Go Bump book. Emp, GreyOwl, JayTen, Underscore, Humboldt, DoomVroom, Raidra, MrDupin, Dorkpool, ShawnCog and everyone else who has supported my efforts here, given me valuable feedback on my writing, and just been all around awesome people to know. Thank you all.

For those of you who don't have to strap on a suit and tie today and drive downtown to punch the clock for the man, I hope you enjoy your day with family and friends.

And of course, this wouldn't be a cheesy and predictable Thanksgiving blog if I didn't invite everyone to comment on what you're thankful for on this day. Much love from my family to yours.
