Reid About It

On this Thanksgiving, I'd like to say thanks for many things.

1. Lovely Wife Kimberly, daughter Pup, and my mom and dad.

2. My best friends and band, The Caucasian Boys.

3. That "The Shield" set a final show date and went out on top. I wish "Heroes" would take that advice.

4. The music of Butch Walker.

5. Lovely Wife Kimberly's handmade jewelry, available at Designs By Appletree.com.

6. Taco Bueno steak fajita tacos.

7. "How I Met Your Mother," "The Office," and "30 Rock."

8. My new gig as a national NFL writer at Examiner.com.

9. That I got to see George Carlin before he passed away.

10. That my beloved Fantasy Football team, the Boneville Knights, is once again playoff-bound.
11. The brief but tasty return of Taco flavored Doritos.

12. Tuna sandwiches on toast, with the chips crunched up on the sandwich.

13. Gregory McDonald's "Fletch" series of books. And yes, the movies too. Chevy Chase was funny once.

14. Reruns of "Frasier."

15. Woot.

16. "Life," "Life on Mars," and "Burn Notice."

17. The new James Bond movies.

18. Cable networks that show "Clerks" and "Clerks 2" back-to-back.

19. The Moog synth, drum solos, and other musical things it seems like only I get into.

20. That working in TV seems to be actually enjoyable this time.

21. The new wave of comic book movies that do not suck. I figured I should get this one in before that "Punisher: War Zone" movie comes out, because my hopes ain't too good for that one.

22. The Onion.

23. The NFL, the Big 12, and East Texas High School Football.

24. Chick-Fil-A, which I ate every football Friday night for twelve weeks straight and never got tired of.

25. That I'm so happy these days I don't even need a number twenty-five.

26. People who watch me on TV and get my jokes.

27. The people who read this blog, especially those who leave comments.

28. Three chords and the truth.
