Thought for sure Paranos would be too old to know what catching a case meant.
Come on now young blood you have to start from somewhere in order to make it in life and I still have friends for many years from all walks of life both good and bad. **** even in our own families we have all people that are professionals at one thing or another, but it is all left at the door when we get together. But its not something that needs to be put on blast 24/7, but you also don't shy away from what made you who you are. At one point in my life a special family dinner outing would have been Sizzlers/Golden Coral type place that would killed the family funds for a month or two and then you bust your butt an also make a little of your own luck by being prepared to act when opportunity presents itself an then life turn 180 degree in the right direction now its Morton's/Capital Grille/Texas De Brazil just for a regular night out. But I still love my island/latin food from the whole in the wall places. You can't beat some arroz con huevo frito or rice and Bully Beef (Corn beef) with onions but that may be before your time, today people do microwaves (yuk).
