Happy Thanksgiving

In honor of Thanksgiving, I thought I'd do a gratitude list. There are, of course, all the conventional things I'm grateful for: family, friends, cat, students, health, home, etc. But I thought I'd do a list of 5 more material things I'm grateful for:

• The PVR. I know it might be weird to be grateful for TV, but it is so nice to watch what I want, when I want.
• My Blackberry. This is definitely the best purchase I made in regards to my business. I don't have to log into the computer to stay connected.
• The library. I don't know what I'd do if I had to pay for books; probably read a whole lot less.
• Astro for making a nearly lactose-free yogurt.
• Jockey for clothes that look good and are well made.
