Out of my league.

I know that this is way out of my league, to even attempt to duplicate Uncle Dick's Reunion Blog would be an insult to his art. With that said, I do feel that posts about him are lacking. So I will make this one quick.

"Brielle can be seen pointing out the flashing lights of a tow truck, to an oblivious Grampa, while it pulls away with His fire engine red Ford Explorer." "She then proceeded to remind him that he should not park in front of a fire hydrant... despite the color and official look of his truck.

I'm not sure, there is silence from The Brickman, I might have overstepped my boundaries. :-)

Fire hydrants at Bowman's Bay? Not likely! Let's take a closer look at the picture. Notice the look on Brielle's face is more like that of someone witnessing an impending disaster. Notice the reflection of bright colors off the Brickman’s sunglasses. Now let’s think back to a post on the Anderson Reunion Post blog dated March 30, 2008 with 40 comments, titled “You can’t really mean it”. One of the comments was by Mezo and I quote “Dear Mister Brickman... is that you parasailing??? This is something I have wanted to try for years, and never had the courage. Is this one of the activities planed for the family reunion shin dig?” Well in this picture you see the composition of amazement and disbelief as Brielle points out Jonathan decked out, fully equipped with attached parasail, ready to make his daring leap. The flashing lights were from the hook and ladder fire truck which was called to pull Jonathan from the ledge where he became entwined with the foliage.

Leave it to me to forget such a traumatic experience. I must have subconsciously replaced that memory with one that I constructed where someone else was wrought with embarrassment. As to why I ended up in the foliage... I think the glare from the Brickman's glasses blinded me as I was trying to swoop down for a picture of the group. How horrible, I still cringe with fear every time I hear I fire truck's siren.
