Isn't this pic too funny? It's from a high school 70s-slash-Christmas party. Anyway, I posted it because it's one of the only digital pics I have with my friend Pat, who's in the middle with the glasses and corduroy suit. He was one of my best pals back then; we carpooled to swim practice, nicknamed each other Patio and Sharo, and did hip-hop body shop for fun. The thing I love about Pat is that he's the kinda guy who is adored by everyone—parents, coaches, teachers, jocks, and misfits alike. It's because he's always been such a gentleman, full of kindness and grace, which he learned from his loving family. Last week, sadly, Pat's father passed away after a long battle with cancer. So this month's lunch money goes toward cancer research in honor of Pat and his pops. I donated via my friend Amanda's Team in Training campaign for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. Although it's not much, it felt good to something, anything against this senseless disease.
