Source: Getty via TheDailyBeast It's November already? Seriously? And I'm also supposed to understand that it's also mid-November? I did not see this coming. I just figured those anti-daylight savings time people were just a bunch of bellyachers. Maybe they're onto something after all. With Thanksgiving swiftly approaching, everything still feels out of whack again … Continue reading Gratitude 2021 From A to Z

Gratitude 2020 From A-Z: Special Covid Edition
Source: Footwear News What a difference a year makes, eh? A year ago I proudly put the finishing touches on this annual post a day day early, and then promptly spent all of Thanksgiving day wearing elastic sweat bottoms, stuffing myself with food, and watching monochrome only content on TV. Except for indigestion in my … Continue reading Gratitude 2020 From A-Z: Special Covid Edition
Gratitude 2019 From A-Z
Julia Child and victim Source: Seattle Times For once I am actually ahead of schedule because I'm writing this annual post prior to the holiday. We all have our little rituals, and it's only in the last few years that mine included having to finish a blog post on Thanksgiving morning. But not this year, … Continue reading Gratitude 2019 From A-Z
Gratitude 2018 From A-Z
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's the one time of the year where I starve all day long so that I can completely make a pig of myself at meal time.

The past year has been nothing but a roller coaster of bombastic tirades against … Continue reading Gratitude 2017 From A-Z
Gratitude 2016 From A-Z
Once again I shamelessly steal a friend's annual Thanksgiving message on her Facebook page. Under my government, upon giving two attributions I may hereafter call this idea my own. If Trump feels he can change libel laws, I can make up my own rules too. Welcome back to the eighties-- greed is good! Below is my list of those things … Continue reading Gratitude 2016 From A-Z
When The Cat’s Away
As I write this I am alone for the weekend. Gorgeous is away on a trip to visit her daughter. There is also a second trip scheduled for later this month when she'll stay with a close friend and visit her sister. Consequently, these getaways of hers become scheduled "bachelor" times for me. They are, if you will, my … Continue reading When The Cat’s Away
Gratitude From A-Z
Every year an old friend of mine starts an alphabetical countdown on Facebook for each of the 26 days before Thanksgiving. She lists all of the things in her life about which she is grateful. She also asks friends to add something of their own alongside hers. Everyone lists warm and meaningful things, and then this … Continue reading Gratitude From A-Z
