I just wanted to extend my congratulations to Jack and his team on a state championship. We are all so happy for you Jack! Love, Nick, and I am sure everyone else
Yeah, Jack, congratulations. Keep in mind that it takes a combination of skill and luck to go all the way to a State Championship and although you ought to be justifiably proud of your teams achievements, this is not the pennacle of your life...you've got many more and greater goals and achievements ahead...
Love ya, Dad
PS...No, I don't think it's a good idea to buy a $350 ring to commemorate the event...keep a copy of this blog posting to help you remember.
Jack, I very strongly disagree with your old man-- I say buy the ring. It will actually save you money in the future: You can use it as your wedding ring later in life. Then people will say to you in passing,Oh,Are you married?" and you can point to your left ring finger and say, "yes, not only am I married, but I was also on the high school state championship football team. Any other questions?" You can use it as double bragging rights, and also kill two pieces of male jewlerly with "one stone". Great idea! Now you just gotta find the right wife.
I just got an email from Seattle U asking if I wanted to get a ring for $350 also. Those Jostens guys don't realize that the ring is really worth $100,350. I'm still not going to buy it. But I am done with my finals. 2 more quarters and I'm free...
Hey, thanks for the back up, Brian. Written like a man who needs only think about buying a second binkey for his son and daughter. I'll save your response for the time when Patricio "needs" those $300 tennis shoes or , heaven forbid, those earings that put a hole in your lobe that size of Tom's nose after those Keller Boys got through with him. Let's not even talk about tatoo's because you've lost the moral high ground on those babies.
I think that I've gotten carried away with this note, but you get my point..even if I'm not sure that I do any longer.
Well put Uncle Dan, but if i did get a tattoo, It would be "ROACH" (maybe a shamrock instead of an "A") upside down on the inside of my bottom lip. Then when I wanted to show my true colors I could pull down my lower lip. (Try it in the mirror a few times to get the "true feel.") And, supposedly it is such a 'wear spot' that it only last 10 years anyway. So when Im 32, and my young and reckless days are over,it will be gone. ER

Whatever,

(still no ring in the offing)
Could someone please explain to me what is inherently immoral about tattoos?
A tattoo on my body would be akin to a comic book artist defacing an El Greco painting - and with indelible ink!! What a loss...
