If a person can be, say, “a day late and a dollar short” could said person also be “a day early with a buck in the bank?” Just asking for a friend. No real blog this week, with Thanksgiving falling on Thursday Blog Day. Thanksgiving wins that tussle. Plus, Barbara and I are at MSP awaiting our flight down to Orlando. Hence, I’m posting this little “Thank You” a day early.

Next week, at our appointed date, I’ll have plenty of material to work with. We were in Cincinnati this past weekend and had a blast with nephew Colin. Wait until you hear the ferris wheel story! We’ll spend the next four days with Kitty, Todd, Angie, the twins Stassi and Bella, and other members of Angie’s clan. That’s what Thanksgiving is all about. Family, and thanks.

I have too much to be thankful for to even attempt a quick list. In terms of what I’m doing this precise second, putting fingers to the keyboard and watching words appear on the screen, all I can say is that “Thanks!” doesn’t come close to describing how I feel about 13 nonstop years of blogging, knowing how incredible and wonderful my reader base has been. And that morphed into “Bats, Balls, & Burnouts” over the last couple of years. These days, the new book “How Far?” is well underway and the process is exhilarating, watching two characters I made up out of thin air come to life.

I’m not just thankful, I’m incredibly fortunate. Thank you all, for caring, and being there, and staying in touch, and appreciating the nonsense I produce. It’s an honor.

THANK YOU!!!   Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great week. See you next Thursday!

Bob Wilber, at your service and humbled by all that’s happened.
