Things to be thankful for...

Here are a few things I am thankful for as I welcome my 35th Thanksgiving tomorrow...

1. Family and Friends (given)
2. Premature hair loss...I'm trying to be positive as I stare at the glare on top of my head.
2. Beer and wine...pretty much all spirits.
3. Call ahead seating.
4. My 3 year old son's obsession with air hockey and Fergie.
5. What lies ahead...

Life is good...have a great Thanksgiving.

Filing an insurance claim in 3 easy steps

So I'm deep frying a turkey for Thanksgiving. I've put my homeowners insurance carrier on notice so we'll see how this goes. All I know is that while at my first NASCAR weekend a few weeks back (another topic for another day), some Cajuns had deep fried a turkey and it was phenomenal. Pray that the fine men and women at the Frisco Fire dept. are ready to roll. Hopefully my check didn't bounce to the firefighters benevolence fund.

I got here as quick as I could

Wow...so this is the blogosphere. Doesn't look too spherical to me but hey...what do I know. Many of my friends are blogging, including every tween and "emo" (I just learned that term the other day), so I figure I'll jump in to see what all the hot fuss is about.

Here's what you need to know about me: married, three kids, live in Frisco, TX (insert emasculation joke here), thirty-something practioner of the ancient art of corporate Public Relations. And just like the legendary fake race car driver Ricky Bobby once mused, I too piss excellence (I've always wanted to say that).

So, now you know the rest of the story. Here's how this thing is going to go down. Every day or so I'm going to post an entry. I think I am resigned to the fact that this might be the best way for people to keep in touch. Oh, and one more thing, you have my great friends Wilson Maile and her husband Jason to thank for the creation of this beast. She is the unofficial queen of blogging, and he, well, he just looks good in a tank top. Thanks for welcoming me and give it up for the 345,099,712 millionth blogger! Walt Whitman is handing over the baton as we speak.
