MY DISTINGUISHED LINEAGE ————- by Steve Nadis
It’s no wonder I’m such a big success. Take a good look at my family, or even a fleeting glance, and one fact will inexorably leap out at you: I come from a long line of success stories. My brother, for instance, has just come out with a book–a REAL BOOK, mind you, not some comic book or harlequin romance. And this volume–the subject of which presently escapes me–surely has some heft to it. One of my cousins in Nashville recently participated in the world championships of Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Although he did not win the event, nor take home any prize money for his poor relatives, he said it was an honor, nevertheless, just being in the same room as those other remarkable athletes. Meanwhile, two other cousins have made quite a name for themselves in Hollywood (that’s Hollywood, California, NOT Florida, you wise guys). Offhand, I couldn’t tell you exactly what they’ve done there in Hollywood, California, but make no mistake: They’ve definitely made a name for themselves. The list goes on and on. I won’t bore you with all the details, but suffice it to say: If you want to see how I got to where I am today, you need look no farther (further?) than my own family

I\\m glad you recognized the much malaligned atheletes of rock, paper scissors. Clearly you are aware of the stamina and sheer concentration required particulary when playing with a 2 year old. God bless you and your relative–may he live to join and win another tournment and get the ultimate prize–his mug on a Wheaties box.

Thank you, Vov. Encouraging words (though seldom heard) are encouraging. By mentioning the Wheaties box portrait, you just may have provided my cousin with the motivation needed to make not only him, but the entire family, even more famous than it is today (if, indeed, such a thing is possible).
You are really talented on writting article,i will come as soon as you update blog.
