Loosen up a little

I’ve always been a tightly-focused, get-it-done kind of guy.
Then I met Howard Hellams and learned to laugh a little.
Howard and Brenda worked with MacLeod and me years ago.
They held our wedding reception at their home. I got drunk.
Shows what poor judgment you have being young and stupid.
We’ve managed to remain friends anyway.
Says a lot about their tolerance and patience with fools.
Howard wandered out of journalism into advertising.
Journalism’s loss was advertising’s gain.
He once created a campaign for us with the back of his hand.
No fooling. He copied his hand in a copy machine. Headline:
We know your business like the back of your hand
Howard once wrote a campaign for a radio station. It read:
We tried other radio stations but the ferns died
Howard is writing a book about Italy, his new passion. He writes:
Better to die in childbirth than see Italy from a tour bus.
Howard believes tour buses are for the faint of heart.
His deepest wish when he grows up is to become a Viking.
I don’t think he has the professional football team in mind.
At 123 pounds dripping wet, he’ll be a great Viking.
