Now begins the long stretch of dog days of summer. My brother was kind enough to share the meaning of this quip..which has something to do with many hot days and dogs hating it. Well, who doesn't? This is fairly typical of Nick-giving us snippets of useless information, quoting B movies, and offering way too much information for facebook. I love my brother. He is the one you can count on to have a speech at Thanksgiving-usually something heartfelt and pithy. He will speak at all birthday parties-honoring the special guest with humor and emotion. He will also check obituaries and attend all funerals of anyone he crossed paths with in his lifetime, no matter how remote. There has been times where he showed up at a funeral and had the wrong person. Being the gracious individual he is, he would shake hands with the bereaved family and tell them how sorry he was for their loss. Thank god he didn't do a speech. Although that would be quite funny.
He is a master in human connections-always has friends in all parts of the world who own restaurants, businesses, services...even ran into someone on the streets of Sydney Australia from his childhood. That man has had more free meals, cocktails, concerts, and sporting events than anyone I know.
Yep, there are times when he drives you crazy, but loved just the same. Here is today's quote for facebook from Confuscious Nick:
Take a leap of Faith. The safe and easy path does not always yield the greatest satisfaction. Kung Fu Burns.
