As we get ready to celebrate this Thanksgiving with family and friends, I just want to take a minute or two to say how blessed and thankful I am for eight happenings and people that mean so very much to this old guy.

I am thankful to have Carole in my life for the past 15 plus years who showed me that after you grieve, you can live and love again. I love you with all my heart and soul honey!

I am thankful to have a fantastic son, Warren, who has been through so much medically throughout his life. His fight to keep on truckin’ is inspirational and I love him with all my heart.

I am thankful for the past forty one years to have had a second family with Paul Allen Cianci and his family all they have meant to me.

I am blessed that after 36 years of being associated with the adult industry through NightMoves and AAN it continues to give me great joy in many ways and meeting some fantastic people I can call dear friends.

I am very thankful that a dream of mine for over 55 years became reality when I became a published author in 2015. It helped ignite the writing bug again.

I am truly thankful I was spared and given another chance to live life to the fullest after getting a scary visit from the Widow Maker on December 3, 2014.I am extremely thankful that, despite all it’s many problems, that I live and enjoy being in the greatest country in the world.

Most important, I am truly thankful and blessed for all the support, love and friendship you all have given me with my daily features, reviews, articles and writings. I can never thank you enough for what it means to me.

There’s a lot more, but for now that is what I am most thankful for as we celebrate another Thanksgiving at a time when giving thanks means more than ever,, especially after our visits from Debby, Helene and Milton the past few months. May you all be as blessed as I have been. Please have and enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving.
