Turkey Trot
A lot to be thankful for today. My wife. Comfort. Good health. Friends. Clark who posted his first blog! I'm thankful I ran the Chesterfield Turkey Trot this morning, finishing 21st in my age group and 680 overall. I'm thankful I like food because right now the house smells wonderful. We made a pecan pie last night and at this moment Jessie is making a key lime pie, using freshly squeezed lime juice. I'm thankful Georgia Tech beat UConn last night, once again proving a point that I'm always trying to make with Jack Spitzer, my brother in law, that the ACC is all that matters in college basketball.
I'm thankful I run, not just physically in races, but through life, at times finishing well, over times struggling, then those times doubting I'll ever finish. I like those times of doubt. They stretch the soul, enabling all the good finishes.
I'm on the top floor of my house, in the library. I'm thankful for that! And for the aromas emanating from the kitchen, where Ann, too, is cooking away, listening to Big Band music. Her pecan pie is done and ready to eat. I am thankful for the invention of pecan pies and would kiss the woman who invented them, if I could. Have a great day all.
