Feeling thankful for what I have.

Food, a nice place to live in a city that I love, a wonderful girl and loads of good friends. A good portion of the world is not so lucky.

Perspective is a good thing.

Eschewing the Oxford comma — that’s something else I’m thankful for.

“An Ode to Daylight Savings”

Your absence ever leaves me sour,
annual absconded hour —

that vexing day when March exhibits
sixty fewer sleeping minutes.

Subtract an hour of labor, please!
But leave to me my precious Z’s!

— Eric Robert Nolan
