Hello again and welcome to Joe's blog!
Day 3 of things I am thankful for: Computers
Yes I am thankful for computers. Without computers I would not have as fun of a job (sometimes).
The nice thing about working with computers is there is always something new to learn. The bad thing is there is ALWAYS something new to learn. But its fun none the less.
Not much going on in the today, just plan on working.

Just another crazy Monday
Mondays, the day of the week when you have to go back to work, after a relaxing weekend of doing nothing. Or cleaning up your yard from Halloween.
Which brings me to day two of things I am thankful for. I am thankful for our house. It was a tad annoying getting it, I had no idea what to do. I let shawna handle the details. I was just there for a yes no, I like this I don't like this.
However with all thats said and done. I am thankful we now have a house. (kinda wish we had waited a year when house prices to dropped like a rock)
Major advantage of being a home owner is control. No one telling you what you can't do inside your house. Want to paint the bathroom any color? Go for it!
Disadvantage: Mowing the yard. But we outsourced it so its all good now.

Post Halloween
Well its November and near the end of this month will be a feast of a dead bird, or in our case an unlucky pig. Truth be told, they may have revenge depending on if you have to use any ant-acids.
More than just mouth watering food though, this is a time when we take inventory of the good and the bad that has happened this year, and focus on the good.
We give our thanks once a year to God in saying that yes bad things have happened to us this year and good things, but we are still here. It could be worse.
Then just before we set to carving the animal of our choice ( or animal in our budget ) we bow our heads and say thanks for this or that, like an acceptance speech for an Oscar. Well I decided, while trying to figure out what to blog about, that this month, I'm giving thanks for one thing in my life that I am thankful for. Every day for my blog.
So here it is day One:
I am thankful for my family. My wife, parents on both sides of the tree, our two cats, and siblings as well as grandparent, crazy aunts and uncles.
My family is what has made me who I am and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
To them I say thank you.
Now about Halloween, is it just me or are the trick or treaters getting older and less traditional?
Most are no better than common beggars! Ringing the door bell, NOT saying trick or treat just holding their bags open as if to say 'give me'.
Maybe its just the neighborhood we live in there aren't that many little kids, maybe the parents are trying to take them to more safe trick or treating places. Maybe the parents of little kids are too lazy to take them out for more than 30 min. What ever the reason, we the home owners are the ones who suffer. We get the reject teens that are just looking for candy and not really even trying to make a costume.
What do you think? Am I being to picky? Too selective? Too high expectations or is there anyone else who feels the same?
