Love it Jim! Everyone that has started a business can relate to those struggles of getting established and eventually becoming successful. Congratulations on your success!
Five years ago, Thanksgiving of 2019, I was in the ICU and literally on death's door. And, the sad thing is ... I don't have a cool story to explain it. I simply let what I thought was a nasty tummy ache go untreated for a few days. But it wasn't a tummy ache, was it? No, it was appendicitis and yes, it nearly killed me. It took the brilliance of my then high school aged daughter to tell me "Dad, you still have your appendix. It could be that."
And she was right. I'm thankful my daughter saved my life that day. I honestly think I would have let it go, because it was a *just a tummy ache* and I'm man enough to get thru the worst tummy ache I ever had. I mean, it wasn't isolated to my right side, it was all over my gut area. It literally felt like I had month old Taco Bell. Nope, it was the appendix. I spent 14 days hospitalized, had two surgeries, and lost 1/4 of my body weight. I had chicken broth for Thanksgiving, and pretended it was Turkey.
There are times I actually think I did die, and awoke in this upside down world. Because the last thing I remember hearing on the news before going to surgery was about some crazy flu like thing flaring up in Wuhan, China...
Happy Thanksgiving! I don't always agree with you, but you're always an interesting read, and I believe you're honest in your writing, and that goes a long way with me. Your jokes run from funny to freaking hilarious, and that's good, too. I sincerely hope your health and life continue to improve. But keep wrting, and I'll keep paying to read your writing.
Happy Thanksgiving! May your Turkey not be dry, the cranberry sauce flow, and the stuffing be moist and savory!
Happy Thanksgiving sir.

Happy Thanksgiving to all but especially you Jim for keeping me entertained and thinking new thoughts!
Happy Thanksgiving... gobble, gobble! See ya next week.
I'm thankful that my answer was 'yes' to the question "Mother May I Sleep With Treacher?"
Thanks for sharing you wit and talents!

Glad you got better. (At least you're not a newt now.)
Is that an “O Brother, Where Art Thou” Reference? I have a feeling it is.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
From the Burning a Witch scene:
"She turned me into a newt!"
"Newt??"
"I got better."
Oh, that’s right … in O, Brother he was gonna be turned into a toad.
O, Brother as darn funny, too.
So sorry to hear of that particular Thanksgiving. So glad it all worked out with your good health.
That Grok art is perfect, you never disappoint in that department
He does seem to have a knack for it.
Enjoy your holiday. 🦃
