What are you thankful for?


What are you thankful for this holiday season?

I'm thankful that the lawyers failed miserably in trying to foist DIVX off on everybody.

I'm thankful vinyl and tubes aren't dead yet.

I'm thankful for a wife who lets me indulge my hobby. At least as long as the bills get paid.

I'm thankful for American consumers who scream bloody murder whenever the record labels try to enforce cd copy protection on cd's.

But most of all, I'm thankful to Audiogon where I've stretched my hardware dollars, learned all kinds of useful information, been able to voice my humble opinion, and met some really cool people.

I'm thankful I'm beyond drafting age and that there are term limits for presidents. ;^)
Good thread idea!!

I'm thankful that someone managed to record at least a FEW CDs worth of Eva Cassidy before she died.

I'm thankful that my wife thinks "black and grey metal" is an acceptable living room decorating style.

I'm thankful that my dog, who manages to stomp on various body parts of mine all the time (he's 60 pounds) tiptoes around narrow floorstanding speakers without so much as brushing against them.

I'm thankful for all the Audiogoners with WAY more money than I have who let me feed off of their leftovers -- trickle-down audio!

But most of all, I'm just thankful to be sitting here in a warm house amidst the snowfall, with a full stomach, a glowing fire, and a wife who loves me sleeping in the next room with the dog standing guard at the foot of the bed.

It doesn't get much better than this . . . .

Well, ok, maybe if the glowing fire were being reflected off of a 60" plasma . . . .
Hey all,

I'm thankful for having met my wife, 9 years of marriage in December. I don't know where I would be without her.

I'm thankful for having earned my job, which allows me the funds to indulge in this wonderful hobby.

I'm thankful for my health, it had not been so good about 4 months ago.

Finally, I'm thankful for having found Audiogon. I typed the phrase "hi end audio" for an MSN search and hear I was. I've been here everyday since. All the great people I've met and all this excellent information within the forums. And, last but not least, big bang for the buck. I'm never leaving. Happy Holidays y'all.......John
