I think I do this every year, but I can’t remember, and I certainly do not feel like wasting the two minutes and eighteen seconds it would take to look back at last Thanksgiving’s post to confirm. Therefore, I will continue the probable Outlaw tradition of posting five things I’m grateful for.

“5 Things I’m Grateful For”

Don’t know why it was necessary to post the title again, but it felt more official.

1) The WordPress app on the iPhone.
Sitting in “Frozen” right now with my girls. Don’t worry, I’ve got the screen brightness turned all the way down, and the phone between my legs. Hey yo.

2) The Squat Jerk.
Why? Because it looks awesome. Also, it can turn a mortal exerciser into an instant hero, because everyone sucks at it.

We are constantly in a state of inventing what it is that we do, and every time a need arises, somehow it is taken care of. Thank you guys, from the bottom of my heart, for being the best staff imaginable. In the profound words of the great Canadian poet, Drake – “Started from the bottom…”
