My son just got back from a week at Boy Scout Camp, which is arguably the one of the most difficult camps your son could go to in America, I think. It was the toughest camp I attended as a kid. I am very proud of him, not only because he "made it through", but also because he handled a medical emergency with one of his friends very well. His friend is fine, but it was a big scare about Wednesday.

Here's the "Priceless" I wrote to his leaders, along with a Thank You note.
I'm hooked on the "Priceless" now, not so much because I like Mastercard, but because they're a neat way to show how some things are just "worth it".
