Hey everyone,

Wanted to tell y'all about my day. In order to do so, I need to provide some back story:

My school is linked up with one of the local public school disctricts in something called Project PAYBAC. I can't remember what the acronym stands for a the moment, but basically local businesses partner up with the schools and try to offer special services to hepl them out.

I've been working with one our PAYBAC partners, Central Middle School, for most of this school year. What I do is come out and teach a short class on martial arts on the last Friday of every month. It has been a lot of fun, and today was the last one of the year. Technically I'm on vacation right now, but I wasn't about to let my kids down, so of course I did my last class. The kids gave me a card as and a CMS Cyclones T-Shirt. I also had some things for them in the form of candy and some martial arts patches.

After I was done, I found our through my liason at the school that she'd put me up for an award with the PAYBAC committee, and that I'd won. So, I'll be going to a banquet May 19th to accept the Extra Mile Award. This really made my day. I'm not one who looks for awards and such, but I do accept the intent behind it. Hope everyone else is flying as high as I am.

Congratulations my friend! You deserve it.

That's great! Congratulations!

Hey man thats awesome news!

Award yourself a pat on the back.
However, I have to admit, Project: PAYBAC sounds like an action film about a bunch of police who abandon the rules and go around killing mobsters.

can i be a part of THAT Project PAYBAC????? can i can i?

Yes. Nobody likes mobsters, we can all play.

sounds like my kind of game! As McGruff used to say: Take a bite outta crime!

Aye and as the Marines say "kill them all, and let God sort them out!"

Occassionally a Marine says something good don't they
