Where do the months go? I can't believe that the days just keep marching by. This last weekend was the anniversary of JFK's assasination. I remember it well. Last week was my birthday and the week before was my wife's birthday. Now we approach Thanksgiving. There's been lots of talk about turkey and stuffing but I have been thinking about "thanksgiving". I have so much to be thankful for. I have a great family. I have two very interesting and different children and they are both a chip off the old block. I have a great wife who is the absolute best a guy could ask for. I have great in-laws. I live in a great community. I have really awesome bikes, trains, cars and tools. I have an immense amount of incredible memories including a BFF, friends, people, a sailing trip to Mexico, High school, college, Disneyland trips, navy memories, family memories, trips to Hawaii with loved ones, feats, sightseeing, and the list goes on and on. The next big day for me is December 7th. My parents were there and I'm really thankful that they both lived to tell the story. Check out their story written by me USS West Virginia
