My daily gratitude for:
- The first responders and caregivers who served Houston over Thanksgiving. Giving their time while many of us enjoyed home and or family is amazingly selfless.
- Barbara Rice, whose lovely hospitality towards Liz and joyful support of me has always blessed me. Happy birthday Barbara!
- Will, Elijah, and Haylee, who are Ryans cousins and favorite playmates. They remind me of the privilege of being uncle to them and the privilege Ryan has getting to spend time with them.
- The Fry family. They are such good people, and people I love.
- Christmas music, and the return of O Come O Come Emmanuel to my ears!
- The low traffic today on the drive to Venus, TX.
- Loving professional sports less and less. It’s healthier for me.
- Stantons City Bites. It will always hold a special place in my heart for its lovely owner, Teresa, it’s history, and it’s damn good burgers.
