Editorial: Things you don’t think (thank) about
After Halloween, we seem to go right into the Christmas shopping mode. Thanksgiving sneaks up on us and is just a big meal, appreciated by those who don't have to cook for a big family and by sports fans who like football on TV.
We think there are a lot of things to be thankful for, though, and we suggest you review the following list on Nov. 26.
* good medical care for your pets
* an occasionally reliable automobile
* bubble baths
* ravioli
* professional wrestling (see page 7)
* chocolate
* the sound of rain on the roof
* Avanti's bread
* Spring Break
* Christmas Break
* Any Break
* snow days
* Ripp's chicken
* Rock 'n roll
* Champagne
* People who put their money where their mouths are
* Wrangler buns
* birthdays
* graduation
* sex
* pizza
* caller ID and answering machines
* teachers (we had to include this one)
Yeah, we know; we didn't include family, friends, health, all that obvious stuff. We figured you'd think of those on your own.
