Random things I'm thankful for:

1. The acid burn in your throat when you take that first gulp of an ice cold coke.
2. The delightful sound of plastic on plastic as bat meets ball in my backyard virtually every day.
3. That I never have to take a driver’s education class or pass a driving test again as long as I live.
4. A sofa with seats that recline.
5. The Lombardo translation of Homer’s Odyssey.
6. Students who care, who read, who think, who discuss, and who really want to grow.
7. Loose fitting cargo pants.
8. New tires.
9. A new Humanities Major.
10. That the revolution has begun.
