A BIG Thank You....

To two exceptionally wonderful people..........Vic and Eileen ( Crappie King and Queen)

My apologies first for not finding the time before this evening to shout out to you both, as expected the moment I walked in the door I became swamped for what felt like an eternity of a holiday season. Work was nuts but survived with smiles on everyone's face, Drove out to the coast and kidnapped mom for holiday, Got a few days to hang with the extended family, Got mom back home, and the surprise suggestion from the Mrs........to sneak out Saturday (I love that woman). Hit the airport early early Sunday for a trip to Miami (courtesy of my boss / friend and his wife) to watch My Dolphins get whooped by his Jets in my stinking stadium (the four of us still had an awesome day adventure) then flew back after dinner, home by 11pm.



Anyway...........

Words cannot express my thanks for the invitation to spend a few days with you two during your vacation time here.

It was a wonderful few days that has left me with exceptional memories to cherish and smile about for a long time to come.

I feel very fortunate in life that our paths crossed for I have gained some wonderful friends..... for life

I will forever be Thankful to CDC and Slab himself for providing me the means to stumble across these type of relationships and new friends that to me are why the world goes around...............

I am guilty of over working, self inflicted stress, and many other things associated with one working to be good to their word, or attempting to treat others as you would hope to be treated in today's business world or the world in general for that matter.

Now that I am getting a little/ok...alot older, I'm starting to realize how special these moments with friends are to me and finding myself cherishing them deeply.

There never seems to be enough hours in the day, and I doubt it will ever end anytime soon......... but spending time with Vic and Eileen sure helped me feel like all is right in the world....... great company, good times with friends..............and finding ones peace in life.

YUP the fishing was great.............their company my blessing ..................Thank you both from the top, to the bottom of my heart.........Thank you both very much.


PS SLAB........ great idea here Ed........ good stuff surrounds this site................. life enriching magical things have a strong tendency to occur................ Thanks to you too!

My holiday wish to all here...... is hoping you all find these special relationships and friends in life that make you smile. The making of memories that last a lifetime.
