Endeavoring to keep awake on what promises to be a slow day at work.

First, a Happy Birthday to my buddy and minister, Forrest Oates! Forrest is one of my best friends, we game together, hang out, we officiated each others weddings (hence the minister comment). Out of courtesy I won't mention his age (although there is a reason we call him Old Man).

Is Thanksgiving a Religious Holiday?

Like most such things my approach is: can't we all just get along? I was not raised in any religious fashion. The only times I attended church was when I visited my grandparents. And occasionally I might attend a service with my step-mother. And Kim is even less religious. What is funny is James, he is raised in a completely non-religious way, but his good friend Jhon is from a very religious Jewish family. So he often comes home speaking of Yah. What is funny is that I think James has this picture of Yah or God as some kind of Super hero, not a particularly spiritual viewpoint. But I digress from the article at hand, the point was that Thanksgiving in my experience was not a religious gathering, it is about family, good food and the accompanying entertainment (be it football, reading ads, playing board games).

I'm gonna keep the post short today, have some work to catch up on before the Holiday weekend. Have a Happy Turkey day everyone!
