Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

So many things to be thankful for, not enough words for all the emotions for all the memories. For the sake of brevity I'll just talk about two:

I'm thankful for all the great friends and family in my life. You picked me up when I was down, which was several times this year; blog friends, running friends, tri-club friends, work friends, church friends, everyone. Shout out to my pals Jess, Tonya and Olga. Jess I love how you listen to my misadventures with women and take my side all the time even when I'm wrong. Oh wait I forgot, in the wine bar, I'm never wrong. I remember now. Tonya love our once every two months catch up dinners. Enjoyed the work talk, life talk...er except when you get all Dr. Ruth on me. Let's take that down a notch because I realized deep down, it makes me queasy. Olga thanks for all the kind words, all the way from Oregon. Congratulations on your engagement! I better visit Oregon and the "gorge" soon.

And I'm thankful for the health and ability to run. Many people can't run. Many running friends can't run because of some injury or another and several more running injured. Thank you God for running!

Nice face Jess! Friends, my cousin (visiting from Manila) and I, got started early on the Thanksgiving holiday celebration. At Poleng Lounge last night. Good food, good service and great drinks. I'd comeback for the Ceviche alone.
