Sometimes it is undeniably obvious.
Today I get a knock on the door and Mike (Ageless) is standing there with a box in his hand. By nature, Mike is a very reserved individual. He would much rather leave an anonymous package on your doorstep than to accept the accolades for a good deed.
He will not appreciate this post.
Mike walks in the house with this box and hands it over to me and says "Here, you need to deal with this. You might want to check it first and make sure it is right"
At that he was ready to leave. I glanced in the package and couldn't believe my eyes! " Mike! What have you done?!"
He couldn't resist hesitating long enough to capture my reaction. His stoic expression was belied by the gleam in his eye and the glow of satisfaction that encompassed him. Then just as quickly as he came he was ready to go but not before he made sure there was no evidence of what he invested in this little project.
"Gotta go take care of a couple of projects" and off he went acting as though he was dropping off something he found abandoned at the side of the road.
This picture isn't great but I think you can get the jest of what he delivered today.
Personalized trophies for the League Champions for 2003 to 2012 including Rick Hill awards for 2011 and 2012
Now my job is to get some addresses and do a little shipping and see that these get to their rightful owners. Be prepared to cooperate. I will not rest till all are delivered including Reds.

ReplyDeleteI've got to hand it to you Mike, this is truly a thoughtful gift to various managers in the league. I am touched, and I can speak for others as well as Ed mentioned! Yes, this league is special, and people like Mike help make it that way. Never did I envision signing up for this league in 2003 and getting so much out of it from a social perspective, and one where managers truly show care for the other fellow members. We all are fortunate to be in this league, and I hope to be until God takes me home. Thanks again Mike!
