Seven things I’m grateful for:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The way Katherine runs over and hugs me with genuine enthusiasm when I come home.\n
  2. The way Margie smiles.<\/p>\n
  3. Friends I can be geeky with, whether it’s playing D&D or talking about comics or just hanging.<\/p>\n
  4. Backups. Safe, secure, recent backups.<\/p>\n
  5. Digital Cable, without which I would not be able to indulge in the Cartoon Network or SciFi Channel.<\/p>\n
  6. Being financially secure enough that I can indulge my silly little hobbies, like personally supporting the payroll at both Marvel and DC Comics.<\/p>\n
  7. Knowing that, while I am off in Orlando on business for the next four-plus days, Katherine will be safe, and Margie will be waiting for me, and that I’ll be coming home to them soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
