The choice this morning was to talk about annuities or “what I believe in”. I know your minds can only absorb so much financial philosophy so “what I believe in” wins out.
In the movie Bull Durham, Susan Surandon asks Kevin Kostner what he really believes in. His response is “soul, dawn, an evening susnset, the small of a womans back, a hanging curve ball, slow wet sloppy kisses, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, soft-core pornography and opening presents on Christmas morning”. I was moved. Here was a man who wasn’t a mindless jock.
I pondered what my answer would be. The person closest to me wrote down on a piece of paper what my answer to Susan would be.
I believe in …….
Soul
The power of intuition
Reincarnation
The Golden Rule
Crisp, white, tailored open neck blouses
Banana popsicles
The swish of a pure jump shot
The ritual of baseball
Pagentry of Badger Football
The power of money
The existence of evil
Magic of Christmas
Persistence prevails
Johnsonville Brats
Johnsonville brats? Actually over the years I’ve never found brats that tasted as good and occasionally I get a craving. Yep, it stays on the list.
Nobody has ever asked me for my list before. I can only dream that they would.
What is your list? Quick! Off the top of your head. Don’t spend weeks reflecting on it. Share it with me.
Love,
Dad(Just Chas.)
