Let's Get Mushy

Ahem.

I am thankful for the Father who created all, and the Son who sacrificed all to save us all. I am thankful for my family, my crew, my friends, and my acquaintances. I am thankful that I've got some skills, or at least the delusion that I've got some skills. I am thankful that I have a job that pays the bills and puts food on the table. I am thankful that I got one issue of SDF published this year. I am thankful that when I ran over that dead deer on Tuesday night my car wasn't seriously damaged. I am thankful that I own my own house. I am thankful for art in all of its many forms. I am thankful that I live in America. I am thankful I live in Southern Illinois. And finally, I'm thankful that I'm alive and have a chance to experience all of the crazed joys of this utterly fucked planet Earth.

Oh yeah, and I'm thankful for Mexican food.
