hence the following quote from IMDB: 

"The Big Chill is about a cooling process,

move from the outward-directed,

more idealistic concerns of their youth

to a kind of self-absorption,

a self-interest which places their personal desires

above those of the society or even an ideal..."

"Almost. I suggest you get bifocals also?"

Me:

(LATE ENTRY)

*as we were just about to leave last night for a memorial service honoring the Godfather,

grandpa Jack rattled-off this gem:

"I'd rather drag my sack through broken glass and suck

a 'knob jockeys's arse' than go to this thing tonight..."

Grandpa Jack 

*what makes this uniquely sad is that Jack NEVER curses,

and he had become very close to the Godfather before his sudden death a year ago...

**and I readily admit I had absolutely no idea what a 'knob jockeys arse' was.

(translation: he wasn't looking forward to the service)

*this morning before I left Scottsdale,

I stopped-off at a Walmart Supercenter to get a few things before driving back home.

As I was trying to grab a few Gatorade's that were on the top shelf,

and waaaay in the back, I heard a voice over my shoulder:  

"Hey 'little man', you need some assistance...?

'Sam'

Retired NBA Player

**Note: I'm 5'10" and have never been referred to as 'little man' my entire life!

as I turned to say something,

I was now 'looking-up' at a older-grey haired smiling black man that

stood 'at least a foot' over me.

after my initial shock,

I did ask the guy (who I did recognize as a former player in the NBA)

to hand me a few of the bottled drinks that were just beyond my grasp.

upon handing me the bottles I said that I remember him from professional basketball.

he again smiled as he held-out his hand and said;

"Hi, I'm Sam."

I shook his hand (which I compare to an over-sized baseball-mitt,

intro'd myself, said thank-u, at which point we parted ways.

I've been thinking about who this guy could be,

I will find out. 

***also. I have helped many, many people in stores doing what Sam did for me.

I can only hope that they appreciated my act of kindness as much as I now appreciate his...
