The Lewis Show

It's funny, in a way. I look back through my blog and my social networks and I've only really posted once about Thanksgiving. It's not that I'm an ungrateful sap, I just fear that one burns out on saying thanks. One would be very, very wrong. No pie for Mike. I only have one thought for everyone today, but most of all I direct this at me. Out of everyone it seems that I am the most hardheaded of them all. Gratitude and thankfulness is not just an expression, it's an attitude. Sometimes a simple thank you can mean the world to someone, but following through with continued praise and positivity can change lives. It can change communities, it can change the world we live in. One active thank you at a time. Let's put aside an ounce of selfishness and take on an ounce of charity. It can make a difference. Let's not just say thank you for now on, let's be that thank you. Enjoy your feast, count your blessings, love one another, and go Packers!

Between the leaf blowing and the house cleaning and the Super Mario Wii (which is awesome, you should get it), I've been playing with the new Google OS. Here's a screenshot of me running it on a virtual machine: And here's a video from Google explaining the need for a new direction in operating systems: Very thoughtful and worth the watch; plus you can kind of feel the direction of computing going more and more into the cloud and virtual space.

With everything being so dreary this week as Ida slowly makes her way across the east coast, I figured my pick this week for a picture blog that always gives me the warm fuzzies anytime there's a new post. My Milk Toof was created by Inhae Lee and features the adventures of two teeth (it's not as weird as it sounds) named ickle and Lardee. It's become a very popular blog and now these two famous molars have a book out which has already sold out of it's first publication. This just goes to show you can find success in the strangest places. Or maybe the tooth fairy does exist. This is a fun and sweet distraction from the every day and that is why this is my pick of the week.

November the Sixth will always be a happy day. It's happy because it's my girl's birthday. Happy Birthday, Janine. Thank you for loving and putting up with me. My wish is to make all your days as happy as I want this day to be.
