Happy thanksgiving! We do have a lot to be thankful for, including going out here and almost always being paid for being an arbitrator while folks are playing a game.
I'm grateful for all my partners, even the ones who I might not want to work with. I'm grateful for the players and coaches, even the ones who might gritch too much. Without them, we couldn't do what we do.
I'm thankful I have a good UIC and deputy UIC and a good Regional UIC, and lots of others who mentor and watch and keep me in line. They know I'm not just blowing smoke up their a$$. They've given me a lot of opportunities, and I'm grateful.
Oh, and I'm thankful I have a boss who lets me off work whenever, and a wife who almost always understands.
And I'm thankful to have made YOUR acquaintance. My world is better because of you all.

OK John,
You trying to start something or what?
Ditto your thoughts EXCEPT....
My wife ALWAYS understands. About a third of the games I call are with her as my partner!
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Buddy
