Thanksgiving is upon us. This is the holiday that is centered around eating, family, and friends, with an eye towards counting your blessings . So ...
Thanks to my soul mate for the walks nearly every evening.
Thanks to Hellchild for challenging my opinions and being correct part of the time and for bringing back some memories of the energy I had when I was younger.
Thanks to Beaver for reminding me that it doesn't hurt to treat others with compassion and respect.
Thanks to Earache for riding along to so many destinations just to have fun.
Thanks to Mike in Dutch Harbor and his weather reports. Is it windy, windy and rainy, or windy and snowy today Mike?
Thanks to those that I've treated poorly that let me know by slinging just as much crap back at me. The stories I could tell you.
Thanks to Denver voters for term limits. Sometimes the bums you know are better than the bums you don't know and some of 'em aren't bums at all, but at the very least we'll be shufflin' the bums soon.
Thanks to Dave Winer for an introduction to weblogging. Update: Dave Winer: "Today, the NY Times ran an article on the women of bloggerdom, and several of our friends, women and men, got recognition. Mazel tov, onward and upward. And since this is Thanksgiving, thank you."
I remember my old Boss Lloyd, at Lewan and Associates, making some of the same points, as Winer, back in the eighties. Thanks Lloyd. And while we're on L&A, thanks Fred, for introducing me to the MacIntosh.
Thanks to Patricia Sueltz for teaching me that software developers should, "Cooperate on Standards and compete on implementation."
Thanks to the Colorado Plateau for rising up through the Colorado River system and creating an incredible playground.
Thanks to Edward Abbey for the hope. Hite will rise again.
Thanks to the National Park Service for the Glen Canyon Recreation Area and for answering my cell phone call when that @#$%# rental boat died last August.
Thanks to Herman the German for buying that very cool water toy and sharing it and thanks for the conversation while the sun was setting over the Waterpocket Fold.
Thanks to Frankie and Gertie for teaching me the importance of emphasizing optimism and good cheer in my daily life.
Thanks to Gertie for teaching me all those great songs to sing, "... side by side ...", and that singing helps lift the spirits and pass the time.
Thanks to Jenny the Librarian for teaching me that I should get down on my knees and worship a Librarian.
Thanks to Miss Ayres for being the Librarian archetype in my life. Keep on smiling.
Thanks to the Old Bones for the trippy evenings out dancing, drinking and carrying on. Oh yeah and the Curling. And what ever happened to that VW Bus we bought? The fact that our theme song is the entire, "Hot Rocks" CD set speaks volumes.
Thanks to James Gosling and his team for the Java Programming language and to the Southern Gentleman who keeps showing me it's potential.
Thanks to Tim Berners-Lee for the World Wide Web even though the BigCos are trying to bring it down. Why is it that they can't make money without taking my freedom?
Thanks to the IETF and other standards bodies and the Java Community Process.
Thanks to those I forgot to mention and those that wish I had forgotten to mention them.
