15 People, Places, And Things To Be Thankful For
11. Mad Men
Misogynistic (Yet Woman Empowered) Television Show To Be Thankful For
Because it’s one of the best damn written and looking shows ever created. Did you ever think you’d tear up over a Kodak Carousel? You should also be thankful for January Jones.
12. George W. Bush
Man With Conviction To Be Thankful For
Because, flawed or not, he stuck up for the people and country that mattered to him. Whether that was the right thing to do remains for the history books. Dick Cheney however? Add him to the worst list. Runner-up: Bill Clinton’s trip to North Korea.
13. The Manhattan
Cocktail To Be Thankful For
Because it’s an exquisite drink that needs no introduction or complication. Just like you, and it has a bloody good name.
14. Warren Buffet & Bill Gates
Men With Money To Be Thankful For
Because Buffet bets on America, Gates is not the tyrant Jobs is, and they both demonstrate how men with more money than they know what to do with should behave.
15: The Pork Chop
Red Meat Alternative To Be Thankful For
Because a man needs an alternative to steak, and the pork chop seasoned with salt & pepper grilled over a big flame is about the best alternative you can find. Best served with friends and family over good conversation and spirits.
Bonus: Gustavo Dudamel conducting Arturo Marquez’s Danzon N°2
Music To Be Thankful For
Because the classics are classics and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra, at about 1:50-3:00, prove classics don’t have to be boring.
