Telephone conversation:
Hello, Nick? I can’t find the old towels I use when I bathe the dog. Did you take them?
No, but I’m coming home soon.
Why would you be coming home? (He never comes home in the middle of the day and especially not when he is finishing a job, like he is now.)
Well, I got some blood on my shirt.
What happened?!
I cut my arm and it got blood everywhere. I need to change.
So, where are you now?
I’m in the doctor’s office getting stitched up.
What?
Yeah, it needed a few stitches. I’ll be home soon, OK?
When were you going to tell me?
When I got home
Half an hour later he comes in with his arm bandaged from wrist to elbow, 17 stitches. I haven’t seen it, but he says it is 3 or 4 inches long. A change of clothes, a quick lunch and he’s gone back to work. I don’t know. He sure does handle situations differently than I do!

WOW!!! He handles things way differently than I do too!!! I hope he is okay. He must have a really high pain tolerance!!!
Chief – take it easy man!
Hey Nick,
You know, I have been known to do the same thing. If you think you need to do something then you just have to do it. I made them release me from the hospital the next day, even though they really wanted to keep me because I had to do some things for the business. The same when I burned my legs. My staff made me stay home. I guess it is just the way we are wired. I understand even though I think we are both crazy
