What does a June bug do in July?



In response to last week’s question, "What does a June bug do in July?," one of my very first IT friends and advisors, Bradley, knew that "they retire & move into the July and over retirement community !"  My dad's beach buddy Bob shared a similar thought, "they take a lot of aspirin."

My friend Kosol explained, "They scarab!"

My ethics friend Blair, declared, "Vacation" to which my friend Royce added, "to the Catskills" while my friend Richard explained, "usually a nice cruise.  Alaska, maybe." 

My writing and sailing friend Rich lamented,  "He goes to Disney World as a gooey mess on a tourists windshield," which my friend Jodie, the proud owner of a new filly, added, "gets washed off the windshield, and hood, and front grill, and bumper..."    Whether voluntary or not, my cycling, flying friend Ted concurred, "He dies!! What else could he do?"

My social business colleague Andy can to a slightly different conclusion, "You get stepped on well before July when you look like this in June: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllophaga_(genus)"

Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:

Why does the light bulb go off when you get an idea?  from my friend Marc

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Congratulations to my parents, who are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary today.  What great role models.
