I've spent a few of these upcoming holidays with Shelby over the last six years, and they were all great times. Back in Tennessee sometimes I spent the same holidays alone, but I accepted and survived them all, because I had made my bed.

This upcoming Thanksgiving I will be alone here in Pensacola, FL, at my own choosing. I have no idea how the day will evolve, and I'm fine with it not evolving at all. After all, I'm an old pro from Tennessee.

But I'm surrounded by a homeless population that I recently helped feed. There's got to be something going on around here, to feed us needy.

I would love to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with my homeless friends. I've got a few days left to check around and see what's going on.
