A very special delivery came to me today from a place I can only imagine as I have never been.  This enchanted and elusive place is Box Elder, Montana.  My friend Kenny Morsette  and I served in the Army together in the 90’s.  We met in Denver, Colorado while attending an advance school at Lowry Air Force Base (no longer exists.)  After that school I was shipped off to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and Kenny to Korea.  A year or so later, Kenny was assigned to the very unit I was on Fort Bragg, what are the odds?  Fast forward to today and you all know I have a book I am about to publish called “My Aumakua”.  While trying to figure out what to do for a cover I asked for input from my friend Kenny.  The painting he came up with is nothing short of amazing.  It is as perfect a picture as could be for the cover of my book.  This painting, which I can tell you, for me, is now priceless, arrived today.  It arrived by mail…IN A USED PIZZA BOX!  The mailman walked in holding the box just so, and I looked up and said “I didn’t know you guys delivered pizza too.  Man, the USPS must be strugglin!”  The mailman (Mark) did not find the humor.  Much to my surprise, it was a pizza box, and it was for me.  I saw the address and knew what it was.  On the box was “Putz” hand written above where it says “pizza” which is what Kenny calls me.  Little does he know I actually like it even though its supposed to be a shot.  I looked at the box and couldn’t help but laugh and shake my head.  What a great way to reduce and reuse what would have been trash, but to send two, yes two priceless pieces of art to me, well, its totally Kenny.  I am blessed to have him as a friend and his talent, his passion is nothing short of breathtaking.  You will see what I mean soon.  Thanks Kenny, you are a fantastic artist.
