The game is airing on the NFL Network, and our local Fox affiliate; if you see me in my new hand-knit felted Chiefs-colors top hat, let me know! (I&#8217;m rather proud of my new hat.) I will get a picture up of me in my new hat soon.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to get all goopy &#038; traditional, and list off everything I&#8217;m thankful for, because I feel that list pretty much every day. I&#8217;m sad every day, but for the first time last night, I dreamt of my dad and it wasn&#8217;t sad. I miss him, and I always will. I look at these new permanent feelings and I know that in years, they will be worn a bit more smooth, they will slide around and together in my pocket, they will not prick with a savage dagger so sharply. I simultaneously appreciate and hate my wisdom rocks.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, I said I wasn&#8217;t going to make a list, but I am thankful for JWo, and the laughter and the love we share. We had his mom over for dinner last night &#038; taught her how to make her own sushi rolls &#8211; we did real crab meat &#038; gourd, and smoked salmon &#038; cream cheese &#8211; and stuffed ourselves. (You know, sort of like training, for today.) There were a few slices left, and we gave the dogs a treat&#8230;.. we broke all the house rules for the sake of priceless photos&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/304248529\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/112\/304248529_6b5bb8b73f.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"318\" alt=\"PollySushi1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/304248565\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/115\/304248565_26df53b39c.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" alt=\"PollySushi2\" \/><\/a><br \/>Polly&#8217;s pretty delicate in how she takes food from you, so watching her eat from chopsticks was hilarious.
