Be thankful, because you can
I was going to write today on Facebook what I was thankful for -- on Thanksgiving -- but who am I kidding? There is not enough room on FB for that, so on the blog I go. I realize that I am a little late in doing so tonight, but I have pretty much been in bed all day sick. That, I'm not thankful for. But I am thankful that, although I kind of ruined my Mom's Thanksgiving get-together being sick, I am thankful that I was here and my mother was able to take care of me. You're never too old to have your mom take care of you. To start with, I am thankful that the Rapid City Journal had enough faith in me to hire me, bringing me to the Black Hills again after being away for 30 years. I say that because it became apparent that nobody else in Wyoming had the same faith in me despite all that I accomplished there. I wouldn't have been able to come to Rapid City if not for my brother, Ralph, and his wife, Sharon, as they have brought me into their home without hesitation...
