This Thanksgiving, David, Kim, and myself went up to the Tampa area to visit Nik and his family. They just moved up there. It was a great time. Nik & Harmony were extremely hospitable and really set the groundwork for a fantastic extended weekend. Thanks guys! I hope we brought you enough of those freakin' little pigeon gungoo peas!

The food was awesome, the people were even better. Noah (Harmony's brother) is absolutely amazing as a musical artist and as a person in general. The man is always traveling with his guitar, entertaining everyone around him. Thanks Noah! You can see a video of the best ever rendition of Old McDonald here. He played this for Nik's daughter and as you'll see, she thoroughly enjoyed it.

While up there, we went to Busch Gardens. I'm learning that I'm not so great with roller coasters. But whatever, I'm not gonna stop going on them. I'm a man! (even though my "man card" was revoked).

While up there for Thanksgiving, I found myself thankful for my friends. I'm also thankful for many other things in my life like my family, career, martial arts, and my health. If, over the holiday, you didn't take a minute to think of the many things you can be thankful for, now may be a good time.
