things i'm grateful for

[ico83]

My friend Greg noted the other day (or was it today?) that I've sounded a bit downtrodden of late. Chalk part of it up to winter, the other part to living in small town rural Iowa. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to come off as condescending to the residents of rural Iowa, but living where I live now is beginning to take a bit of a toll on me.

Ian, what a great entry. I'm pleased to hear that you're reflective on the good things that you've got. Glad to hear Sharon's health continues to be good. It's been six years since she had chemo/stem cell treatment, so I suggest we watch the movie Day Zero, where Ginnifer Goodwin plays a character who marks her five year anniversary of being cancer free. But she's a supporting character, the film's actually about three men who are drafted to go fight in Iraq; her husband, who's played by the versatile Chris Klein, Elijah Wood, and Jon Bernthal (young Al Capone, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian).

As for your month and a half off, St. Louis is happening, we just need to get three days off between us agreed upon. I suggest June or July for that trip. I will not bring any Cubs apparrel on this.
