... I'm old and FAT!!
I gots a close buddy who's a partner in a large law firm in Tampa (been very close friends for 26 years) and ANY time I've ever needed legal help through the years, he's handled it for me, gratis. If the issue doesn't fall within his personal expertise, he'll have an appropriate partner within the firm handle it for me. (even as recently as a couple months ago on a real estate issue) The bottom line is ... I suppose I "owe" him!
Well, he called last night and asked if I'd mind playing Santa at the Christmas party he's throwing for his kids on Christmas Eve. Do I "want" to? Duh ... NO! Will I? Of course I will. He's renting a costume and with the money he has, for all I know, he'll also rent me a sleigh and team of reindeer for my grand entry. He lives on the water so I suppose the sleigh will need a few alterations! ;)
