I gotta say, I never thought I'd still get zits when I was 38 years old.  I mean, really!  When I was sixteen and trying my hardest to sell a Gap pocket T to every person in the mall, I thought that as soon as I hit twenty, acne would be a thing of the past.  My real life could begin.  

BUT, I also never could have anticipated that those blemishes would really be a very small annoyance in a life filled with fine people and things made by those people, such as the cardboard robot in the above photo.  It was made several years ago by T and it still makes me happy.  As this week of thanks begins, I'm feeling gratitude by the buckets.  Now pass the zit cream, please.
