Jobless and Homeless

Tuesday….

Dec 2nd 29 years ago very early in the morning on a cold winter night we were driving a winding lonely stretch of U.S. 101 following the Russian River from Ukiah to Healdsburg, in Northern California hoping Caren would not give birth to Jonathan before we made it to the hospital. We made it with a couple of hours to spare.
So today we are driving to San Jose to pick up Jonathan and take him to a Sharks Game. Two of his favorite things in life, beside his computer and snowboard, is eating steak and watching the Sharks. We enjoyed dinner is at the Black Angus.

Jonathan had a minor accident with his motorcycle the other day. That is the bad news. The good news is except for scratches, and scrapes, twisted ankle and a big road rash he is fine.

We were able to use his accident as a benefit at the Sharks game. Because we had decided to go so late, and they are having such a good season, and I am cheap, we ended up with tickets up in the upper, upper deck.

Jonathan is on crutches so that was going to be a little challenging for him. I talked with one of the head ushers at the stadium. They were so nice they relocated us to the private season holder boxes area and set us in great seats 12 rolls up from the ice. My 40 dollar a seat on-line ticket purchase turned into $300 a seat tickets in the private area where waitresses came to our seat to ask us what we would like to order.

The best part of this story is it turned out to be a great game. The Sharks scored in the first 2 minutes of the first period and they won a very exciting game 5-2

After dropping Jonathan off at home we found ourselves driving early in the morning on a lonely road the 120 miles back to Sacramento reflecting on the day today and that day 29 years ago. We thanked God for a great son, these two great days in our life and we both expressed how we felt very rich with myriad life experiences.

So what if we are jobless and homeless? We are rich beyond measure.
