Cynthia and I made the Variety list for the third year in a row. Three years ago we were sixty something, then fifty six last year, and now we're in the 30s. I think Cynthia and I can take Pizza Hut and Diet Pepsi out next year.
I'm inspired by the Variety's List, so I'm creating my own list of things I'm thankful for.
Scuba gear - for keeping me sane
Bruce and Olive - for the poki, kelaguen and mojitos at Porkies and for having a personality
Marianas Coffee - we need little luxuries
Kuya Vikes - for everything
Living in a great diving environment -- for making all the other island bs more tolerable
The non-anonymous bloggers and commentators - for having balls
Shelby - for making me smile at least once each day for 12 years now
Katie - for your passion and for giving a damn about the animals
The Republic of Palau -- for being an escape
Zaldy, Harry, Angelo and Tina -- for telling it straight -- even if you all don't see eye to eye I appreciate you all
Dr. Norma Ada - for inspiring confidence in my and my clan's weaker moments
To my dive buddies, especially Marty Dalsaso and Rose Callier -- for looking out for me
Dave Matthew Band -- for so many times
Boni G and Betty M -- For your dedication to the craft that helps me in my darker moments in this job
My students -- those of you who get it especially make it worthwhile
Only 14 months of George Bush left -- the world can start healing
The breakfast at Wild Bill's -- been great for years
Brad Ruszala -- so I can laugh and smile at your charmed existence
Real Time With Bill Maher -- for not talking down to me and making me laugh
The people at BBQ's who don't know me who invite me anyway -- a great thing about this island
Tony Romo - for making the NFL interesting to me again
The Ipod - that I've discovered podcasts has been an upgrade in idle, down moments that make up each day
Cinta - for being a good person who cares
The internet -- for allowing me to explore my own niche interests and not be sucked the empty vacuum of pop culture.
Mom and Dad - for always being there
Cynthia, Alex, Carl and the inevitable Baby Ashley - for giving life a higher purpose

read my blog, you are in it
Ah..thanks for thinking of me. It's so funny to think that I help YOU through the darker moments. Seems I'm always turning to you for advice or your opinion. (cause I trust you to give it to me straight, and boy do you ever!) Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. ; - )
I need your optimism sometimes Betty.
I am honored to be on "the list"! Thanks for your friendship and making me laugh...even at myself! :)
