I was able to spend the last couple of days snowmobiling up north with my brother and good friend, Brent Dix.
Whenever we get together, we tend to throw caution to the wind. My brother and I, whether by choice or inexperience, tend to do things that cause problems. Brent is the experienced voice of reason to keep us from doing anything too stupid.
Although, in a conversation about the dangers of waterboarding, I was the one to dissuade them from testing it out in the bathtub. I guess we all know how to speak up when things get crazy.
On top of my hot water heater, there is a pressure relief valve. If the pressure in the tank gets too high, the valve opens and keeps the tank from exploding.
You need one of those. You need people in your life who help you relieve that pressure. People who make you laugh. People you can be stupid with. People who will walk right into trouble with you and then help you get out again.
If you don’t have one of these valves, someday the pressure is going to get too high and you’re going to explode.
