I always thought the world of DanS. Has always been polite, in spite of my best efforts to antagonize him.
We made a bet during football. We bet a dollar.
Well, I was fortunate and won the bet. I told Dan I wanted that dollar nice and shiney. Here, you buy stamps and you get cahnge from the machine in dollars, assuming you have dollars being returned to you.
I figured if I ever got it, which I was taking a wait-and-see attitude on, because a dollar bet, well you know, many would laugh it off. "Yeah. I owe you a buck.TOUGH.
"
Dan didn't do that. He didn't laugh. He wanted my address and I gave it to him.
Listen to me when I tell you what came in the mail today. It was this package and I opened it. (Quite a surprise, me opening it, huh?).
Inside was this box (I opened it too), and inside this box was another box. One of those flipup kind of boxes. Small one, like special things come in (I think you know the kind I mean), like a watch, or a ring...OR a silver dollar. A silver dollar proof with a Certificate of Authenticity.
I like to have sheeit.
I don't know what to say, except what I already said; which is you have a man among you, who is a man of his word. No. Let me rephrase that statement. Beyond his word.
That, and thank you; for the class you've shown in simply paying the bet, the style in which you paid the bet, the fun of the season and and from my observation, for the example you set on a daily basis.
Just when I thought my opinion was probably as high as it could be, this.
It is my extreme pleasure to have had my path cross your path.
