So here's my list of some things I'm really thankful for:
1. The Divine Ms B, who puts up with my failings as a husband and a human, and who really doesn't think jewelry, cruises, trips to Europe, vacation homes, designer -- well, designer anything, or any of the other manias that have seized the upper middle class, are necessary for a full and happy life.
2. Good kids on whom I have spent money for tuition and books and orthodontia and various trips, but never any money for bail, legal council, or rehab.
3. Still having some friends that I've known since as far back as fourth grade, with whom I therefore share experiences that would assure our mutual destruction should they ever become public knowledge. And being able to spend a day with them a few times a year.
4. Having other friends that, despite miles and years, are just as wonderful as they ever were. Just a little balder, maybe.
5. Having a job I enjoy going to most days, and working with people that I really like to be with.
6. Modern medicine. Say what you will, it's much better than the alternative. And it's probably saved my life more than once.
7. Indian food.
