Holiday weekend

I love holiday weekends, even if I have to work. Shirley and I had a great time with family in Ft. Worth, and I had to be back at work on Thanksgiving Day at 6pm (hey, somebody's gotta serve the guests at the hotel.....!). But the time together and the dinner was great. And I got my Chinese name this week, too, from Shirley's parents (yes, my wife is mostly Chinese and part Japanese).

I cooked here yesterday, and we ate well. Holidays are good--times to be together, eat, enjoy God and one another. And on this particular one, to give thanks is in order. President Bush's weekly radio address was good today. He spoke of giving thanks and a little Thanksgiving history.

It's finally cold here. We have a little snow, but not enough. Maybe some more tonight. I've been enjoying live Van Halen videos on You Tube today. Love Van Halen. Eventually, Fungeye will have our album recorded and begin to play out. Looking forward to it. I think I'm going to go sit behind the kit for a bit.

I pray Good richly blesses you this Thanksgiving weekend. Good worship here tomorrow, if you're in the area.
