Thanksgiving, The meaning of it all Options

[Pat Garvey]

Yeah, it's off topic. No, don't care. Delete the post if you like.

What it means .... Thanksgiving.

Used to mean zero to me, when I was a punk. Now, though, it means that I can be what I want, do what I want to.

I live in the greatest country in the world - the one that gave advantages to me when I worked for them & became good at what I did.

I have hundreds of thousands of military heroes who ar trying to keep it that way for me. That's the premier reason for my thankfullness. These guys & gals risk thier lives daily for me, on a VOLUNTARY basis. THEY ARE heros!

I've been able to be what I wanted in this country.....All I had to do was work for it. No one gave me a break (my parent struggled) - I made my own & I did OK.

Hard work, dilligence & a plan! Worked for me & I'm well set. No scams, just hard work.

Now - where else can you do this? I can think of half a dozen other countries, but the taxes are much higher.

So, I'm thankful for those who started this wonderful country. I'm more thankful to my parents, who instilled a work ethic in me. I'm also thankful that my 93 year old mother can still drink me under the table with Vodka martinis - she's not going anywhere for a long time.

Thankful for my buddies here at the "currently" non-club. Too many of that I wish I could meet face-to-face, but still happy to have you.

Thankful for the Porsche friends who have gone on & taught me so much of what I know (& tht ain't much). Wish I could have all of them back!

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL of you! And, I mean that sincerely!
