Happy Thanksgiving, 30 DC family!
I just want to check in this morning and let you all know that I'm thankful for your friendship and encouragement. I've been riding along quietly with you for the past few weeks.
Kathy and I are doing well and are indeed blessed. She's recovering from a minor stress fracture in her right foot due to overuse, but it appears to be healing nicely. We're returning to Mayo in January for a routine surgical follow up, and we're starting to plan some fun trips for 2022 as well.
We're enjoying a quiet Thanksgiving at home today. She plans to cook a pork roast in the crock pot. We'll also have a few other fixins' including pumpkin pie.
@myles wilson I so enjoy seeing your updates. I'm very proud of what you have accomplished, and I thank you for serving our country. I'm praying this morning for your wisdom and protection. I'm also praying for your family and your stepfather's recovery in particular.
Please think long and hard, Myles, before getting the tattoo. You might see things differently a few years down the road. It is expensive to have them removed later.
I recently picked up a few items for my Den, so my 2021 no buy with
@jtspartan cratered. I picked up a 1921 Tuckaway, a replated NEW LC, a Sheraton from 1938-39, and an Aristocrat from 1934-35. This gives me a spare NEW LC (my favorite vintage Gillette) and some other razors that have always interested me. The cool thing, though, about losing a bet with Jason is that you still get a gift. He crafted a beautiful razor rack for me, and it's en route. He is a true gentlemen and a gifted craftsman.
While I was at it, I picked up some pucks of Mike's Natural Soaps Hungarian Lavender and a Christmas gift set of Stetson cologne and aftershave. The Mike's Soap rounds out my current "top 5" soap rotation. Stetson was one of my first colognes years ago, and I was curious to try it again.
Take care, gentlemen, and enjoy your day with family and friends.
Charlie
