Sadly -- today's photo will not load properly -- which kind of defeats the purpose of "Gratefotos"

Monday, November 14 -- Grate-no-fotos:

Out to eat with our friend Jim. This gentleman is a highly successful businessman who has been a kind friend to our school. On a few occasions, John and I have had the opportunity to go out to eat with him. He talked me into trying calamari. First time -- possibly the last time -- all on one small plate. When we asked about his secrets to success, he reported that he really wasn't any good at business. We smiled. He did add that he was honest. I thought that was actually an awesome answer.
