Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
For the first time in five years, I will be enjoying Thanksgiving Day at home with the familia. After chowing down some turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, my sisters will probably force me to watch scary movies with them.
I have worked on just about every major holiday whether it's working on the sports desk, covering holiday colege basketball tournaments or helping with Rose Bowl coverage. I would never usually be home and that's one thing my mom did not like about my job.
But I'm thankful to have my dream job. I work in a city I love (thankfully I didn't leave for Seattle or Indianapolis) and I'm still close to the city I love: Los Angeles. I'm the envy of some advertising executives in the office who'd rather talk football on the phone than selling ads. And I don't say that to gloat but it does put things in perspective.
Thank you for your patience. Thank you for warm welcome. You guys have made me addicted to the blog and for that I thank you.

olá turma, verdadeiramente mandar um SMS grátis está cada vez mais custoso devido ao bloqueio das operadoras de celular. Há ainda os serviços que prometem entregar meu torpedo mas quase nunca chegam destinatário final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que dizem que mandam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as meus SMS? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de comprar?. Foi mal, realmente está difícil achar serviços para mandar torpedos sem custo.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I really enjoy reading the articles on this blog. I'll bookmark this so I can read more later.
Thank you for a great post

WOW I remember last year in SG's football team, second round before we lost to la habra, we had a big feast at a mexican restaurant! This week is one of the best in football hands down! Happy turkey day people!
As part of my Thanksgiving tradition that I started two years ago I cook a full meal and take it to the Union Station Park on Raymond in Pasadena. I always drive away with tears in my eyes because there but for the grace of God I have a roof over my head - food on the table - two great kids who play sports - and a family to spend the holidays with.
Many have lost their jobs, their homes and most importantly hope. Take this time to tell those that you love - that you love them .. and be thankful for what you have!
Best of luck to all teams in their playoff bids - and congratulations to all of the teams that didn't make it - but who played their hearts out.
Blessings to you Miguel and your family. I will be watching "The Incredibles" with the little members of the family.
Life is good!
lol, NY!!!
See you, Friday.
Happy Thankgiving to you and your family...
Falcon is the new Turkey.
GO CATS!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Go Cubs!
I'm thankful for:
- my wife and kids
- my great job
- my Cats in the playoffs
- the prospect of more turkey than anyone truly needs
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
