Today I’ll be spending time with friends and family. I’m extremely thankful for all of them. My life is enriched beyond measure because of them.

But when thinking about what to post today I realized that most, if not all, of my family and friends here don’t blog. Sadly, they don’t even read my blog. But that’s ok, I understand that most of them haven’t partaken of them blogging/twitter koolaid so today my post is for you, my readers.

I’m thankful for you.

Thanks for stopping by occasionally and making this a fun experiment in digital journaling.

I’m also thankful to a select group of online bloggers that I call close friends, though I’ve not met many of them face to face.

Here’s a thankful shout out to those of you who I’ve journeyed with over the last months and years on this road called blogging.

My good friend, Jonathan Chick, just launched Clarus Photography. He’s an amazing photographer and has a keen eye for snapping photos that just blow your mind. He just started a blog for Clarus. Head on over to his blog and give him some “welcome to the blogosphere love.”

A few of my favorites:

Here’s a little video of some chords I’ve been “hearing” in my head lately. Not sure if I’m ripping them straight from a movie score or not, I’m sure there’s some influence there, but as far as I know…I’m just playing around with some chromatic moves. I don’t know.

Forgive my bad video skills, I didn’t run audio to the computer, and you can hear a little of the keys clicking. I wish I had a real piano.

Thought I’d share it with you today. It’s not copyrighted or anything…just something I’m playing with.

I have made it through 20 days of no shave November. My wife loves it. Just kidding she doesn’t love it. I don’t think it’s as big of a deal as she makes it out to be, because at the end of the day she still loves me. I think.

How’s your bird’s nest coming?
