My old friend Brick likes to go up to people who wear their baseball caps sideways, tap them on the shoulder, then discreetly whisper, “Dude, I don't want to draw attention to it or anything, but your hat's on crooked. You may want to fix that.” It's good for a laugh.
In the past week the world has lost both James Brown and Gerald Ford. If there is a heaven, and God does have a sense of humor, those two are both up there, sitting in a bar together, drinking bourbon and looking awkwardly at one another, trying to think of something to say.

I never have any use for whiskey unless the outside temperature is below forty degrees Fahrenheit.
All my old friends from high school are either married, engaged or tapping kids on their shoulders and reminding them that their hats are on crooked. Safe to say I'm getting old.
