Friends

October 1, 2015

For my retirement gift our friends Harry and Beth treated us to dinner at Marco's in Buffalo and an evening at Shea's. It took over a year to make the arrangements, but it was worth it. We saw "Newsies," which was an amazing performance not only with the singing, but the dancing was as acrobatic and energetic as I've ever seen. Tonight I am grateful for people who strive for excellence in performance, whether it be on stage or in a restaurant, and for lifelong friends who have been by our side through thick and thin, good and bad. The commercial says it. Mastercard is for the stuff that can be bought, but this kind of friendship is priceless. It's not for sale at any price. Beth and Harry, thank you for a wonderful evening, but even more for the friendship, for which I not only thank you, but also God.
