Thank you

I was unable to post last week because I fell into a hole and there were no words in it. It wasn't a big hole really, just an indentation, a depression if you will. But still, the sides were slippery, so I made a list of things I'm thankful for to help me climb out.

Here is the list. It is in no way complete and in no particular order:

• Electricity
• My parents
• AnnaRay
• The knowledge that when I climb out of this hole AnnaRay will be waiting for me
• The Boy
• Easy access to clean drinking water
• Hot showers
• Abba hair products
• The fact that I was born into relative wealth and comfort
• Copaxone
• Jon Stewart and Al Franken
• All the women who came before me and fought for a world in which my choices are not limited because I have tits
• All the gays who came before me and fought for a world in which my son will not be ashamed to have two moms
• The guy who found my wallet on New Year's Eve in 1998 and returned it with all the cash in it
• The fact that there are people in New York City who will find a wallet and return it with all the cash in it
• The moving picture shows
• The fact that I have awesome friends even though I'm tactless, judgemental and kind of a spaz
• Craig's list
• Public libraries, public parks and public art
• Cut and paste
• Undo
• The Boy takes three-hour naps
