Signal to Noise

I’m thankful that I have good work to do each day.  I tell my kids that there’s nothing wrong with profit, as long as you’re helping somebody in the world.  Work doesn’t matter much if it doesn’t help somebody, and I’m grateful that I can help people in my daily work as an information technology consultant.

So, I’m blogging this as the bird is roasting in the oven.  Soon, the house will be filled with the delicious aroma of turkey, onions, stuffing, and simmering giblets.  Then, I’ll skin the potatoes, boil them,  and gently mash in the cream. A little garlic will go a long way, too.

See, this is only the second Thanksgiving since the end of my marriage, and the first one where I get to cook everything.  I’m even making sweet potatoes for my guests, which include my mom, girlfriend, and her family. I’ve never done it by myself.  After the holiday, the kids will come back home and we’ll eat turkey sammies for a week and a half.

I hope your Thanksgiving is as fortunate as mine.  To all my readers, blogging buddies, business associates, and friends, I wish you a very happy holiday and a great extended weekend. See you soon.
