I'm thankful for my partner of 17 years. She's an incredible cook, still makes me laugh, and has the patience to put up with a bonehead like me. And because she's from Duluth, we get to visit your fair city every once in a while.

I am thankful that I don't have to do lunch duty every day like the poor schlub I subbed for today. 

I am thankful for having a job (no matter how mundane), a partner who cares for me, and sorta-stepkids who have continued to defy the tradition of hating dad's girlfriend. 

I'm thankful for the lifetime I'm living in this awesome place.

I'm thankful for my talented wife, talented kiddo, talented border collies and little jerk of a cat. Also I'm thankful for my inspiring bandmates ... they've made every wed. night of the last year a hump day to look forward to.

My 3.2 centimeter grandbaby that will arrive shortly after my favorite week of the year...Homegrown!

My and my future wife's very recent decision to have children. Good lord, I may be a father some day soon. I'm still in a bit of a state of shock. I'm also thankful for a million other things, most of all still breathing and by sheer dumb luck still kicking around on this plane of existence... but my first sentence is definitely #1.

I'm thankful for Duluth, my adopted home town. I miss it and I hope I return some day.

I'm thankful for getting by in tough times, for my beautiful and talented wife, for our interesting-if-sometimes-insane children, and for living in a place that just feels right.

I'll be even more thankful when we get enough snow to ski.

Thankful for chosing to live in this great town and have a decent enough job to pay the bills. Glad that there is fine beer being made by Hoops and his crew, nice sticky things around town, the big lake, uncrowded trails, better and better MTB riding every season, COGGS, friendly folks abound, Korkki, a new choice in movie theatres, good health, a happy and thriving marriage, loving animals, and warm shelter.
