Responibility

I once had a friend named Doug Graen.

Doug was an irresponsible guy.  Doug was once hired for security at a Midnight showing at the Uptown Theater.  (Not The Rocky Horror Picture Show.)  While Doug talked to the projectionist some people damaged some property.  Doug blamed me for this even though he wasn’t doing the job he was hired for.  Before he died Graham Chapman did a speaking tour.  One of the stops was at the first Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.  Chapman didn’t say a word about the cancer he would eventually succumb to but he did speak about his own participation in The Dangerous Sports Club.  Doug blamed me for not getting him a ticket for the event.

A fundamental part of being an adult is accepting responsibility.
