Well, hello again to the brave few of you that may or may not be reading this!
Still haven't gotten much feed back on here, but hopefully that will all be changing soon. If not, I may just resort to writing a diary and keeping it to myself.
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you all a little story about the Grand Rapids Griffins. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Griffins, they are the AHL affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings. The fantastic part for us Red Wings fans who live on the West side of the state, we can get some great hockey games at very reasonable prices, and we get the benefit of seeing future (and sometimes former) Red Wings in action.
Here's the back story - My dad and I are season ticket holders for the Griffins, and unfortunately my dad had to go in for a quintuple bypass surgery on Halloween. ( I hinted at this in a previous post if you were wondering)
There were a lot of bad things about it, but one of his big gripes was having to miss a bunch of games.
Through some lucky meetings, my inquiry, and the generosity of the staff and players from the Griffins, I was able to get my dad one of the coolest get well presents ever.
Dad had joked about getting a stick signed by one of the players. I was able to out do that by quite a bit. Above is a photo of the stick I got from the equipment manager of the Griffins, which he had signed by not one player but the entire team!
I just wanted to give a public thanks to Brad and the whole team for taking a few moments of their time to do something to cheer up a man that they have never met. Too often in life it's the small acts of kindness that get over looked.
Thank you, Grand Rapids Griffins!!! You've earned a season ticket holder for life.
'Nuff said. The Bubba has spoken.

You got all that from them and didn't even have to give then "anything" in return?! I got jipped! Seriously! Son of a B! I really need to stop offering before they demand that stuff.
