Two of my Thanksgiving favorites: turkey and a fire.

For me, I will begin with thanking all the people of the armed services, and law enforcement who are putting their lives on the line, or who are in foreign countries serving their own. Thank you for that sacrifice.
I am thankful for having such a good surrogate family at WGHP Fox 8. I feel very comfortable with my new job in High Point, NC. It offers me the opportunities to be creative, and the challenges I need to grow professionally.
I am grateful for having good genes that enable me to think about this stuff, type it up, and want to share it with others-even if only a few people read this blog. This also includes my good health during my 44th trip around the sun. So, thanks dad, mom, and all the others down the family branches who've made me possible. I am very thankful to my immediate family for their continued support throughout a very trying time in my life. The biggest shout out goes to my dad, who I think of as a modern day Mother Teresa. He has given me the gift of life, love, and time. I'm eternally grateful for that.
I am also very thankful for having Alexandra Poindexter in my life. Some things in life were meant to happen, and my relationship with her is one of them. She has helped me be the person I truly am. Every day she gives me boundless love and gut wrenching laughter. I could not ask for a better friend than who I have in her.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
