Most people that know me, know that I’ve never really been interested in current events, or reading the news. In fact, nick is baffeled by it – being the information junky that he is.
Well, I’ve been thinking that I’m tired of feeling dumb all the time because I never know what’s going on in the world and I’ve been baby steppin myself into adulthood by glancing at ‘freep’ in the morning.
I’ve only been doing this for a couple of weeks now (more on this later), and I’m not very good at reading many articles (because its usually before 6am). But today, I’m glad I started making this change.
Where it not for my attempt at broadening my horizon’s, I might not have ever known about this amazing man who died yesterday.
I cried when I read this article. For someone to be so generous, giving, successful and loving – yet so modest – this is what makes my heart beat.
I think we all could learn a lesson or two from Mr. Fisher’s life.
Rest well Max.

His death Thursday – at 96 – will be mourned from Michigan to the Mideast. Free Press story
