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.
