Recently at Network a scene played out that is not exactly uncommon for our community.
Lenny claimed to have his bike and his phone stolen. Lenny lets his anger fly marching around in a colorful rage proclaiming, “I’m gonna kill whoever did this!”
Lenny happens to be one of my favorites. I consider him a friend. So, I follow him out the door to see if there’s any possibility of consolation.
“Lenny, come on. You’re not gonna kill anybody. You’re a good man. Simmer down so we can try to work this out.”
Lenny’s big, black, weathered hands firmly grip my shoulders as he looks me in the eye and says, “Ryan, I’m not a ‘good man.’ If you only knew…”
He proceeded to rattle off a list of crimes and crap I’d rather not have heard.
