Share the good news

There was some kind of game going on a few years ago where people were tracing themselves back to famous people.  Six degrees of separation -- starting with Kevin Bacon.

We like to do that -- hang on to the coattails of those who rise before us and go along for the ride!

Plus it just feels good when those we love are successful.

So when my friend was interviewed by local television, BBC world news,  and a university paper I was ecstatic!

He was somewhat mystified about why they would choose him.

To me it was obvious!  And yet . . .

There were others they could have turned to, but didn't, so it may have been a little bit lucky.

In the end, I was just as happy as he was and so was everyone else who knows him.  That's one of the perks of having good friends.
