Jumping Thanks

Admit it. It may be Monday, but your mind is already on Thursday -- Thanksgiving -- the one day of the year where your sole responsibility is to eat yourself into a coma, sprawl out on the couch and watch football for 7 hours while catnapping as necessary.

You get all of that for the small price of being thankful.

And what do I have to be thankful for this year?

I'm thankful for the 2011 Cardinals. For the second time in six years I'm bragging about being a champion. And I got to be a part of it by going to the first two games. HOT DANG!

I'm thankful that, as always, whenever the Cubs triumph (Theo) they also manage to fail (Zambrano).

I'm thankful that Rick Perry has disappointed, that Herman Cain has self-destructed and Sarah Palin has invisiblized.

I'm thankful that I think I can get away with making up words.

But most of all, I'm thankful that I've never been punched by Mike Tyson.

Happy Thanksgiving Week Monday!

Jeff
