JohnMitchell 16 #1 November 24, 2011 Me, I got my arm in a damn sling and won't jump for half a year, but other than that, I've got it pretty good. Beautiful wife, great kids, and about 20 people coming over for dinner today. How's your Thanksgiving shaping up, and what are you thankful for this year? As always, a special thanks to all the men and women, far from home, serving in our military today.
