Certificates

I talked with the artist that is making up the new certificates over the Thanksgiving holiday. My people met with his people over lunch. My people being my wife, son and I and his people being him.

He said he has been tied up on work projects and some Christmas presents that he was making for his daughters. Can you believe he is putting his paying job and family ahead of our certificates? Me too. Karate takes a back seat quite often because at this point, it's a hobby for most of us.

He does our artwork for nearly free so I really can't complain. What's nearly? I buy him lunch once in a while and I have promised to take him to the Trans Siberian Orchestra next year. For what he does, that means I am pretty much paying him nothing. One more person for me to be thankful for.

Over this last weekend, my wife and I made up a list of things that we were thankful for. Our son topped the list but right after him came our friends. We have been blessed with having some very wonderful people in our life and have vowed to do more to let them know how much we appreciate them.
