Naked Cowboy for New York Mayor

I gotta respect the Naked Cowboy. This man is doing his darndest to be a paradigm breaker. Maybe he'll be the next Lady Godiva in his own right. He just may end up surprising us by breaking Mark Twain's rule, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."

"Have you gone on any dates? ...No? Why not? Because they're all Babylonian?"

I don't have any money, but I do have a particular set of skills that makes me a nightmare to people like you.

Why Nat is Brilliant, pt. 3

11. Resourceful. There is no waste when Nat's around. Ask our fridge.
12. He networks.
13. He knows how to cook, and barbecue. He knows what "searing" a steak means.
14-16. Thoughtful
         a. thinks carefully about what he is going say before he says it
         b. conscientious of others' needs
         c. considers the consequences before making decisions, especially when the stakes are high or the matter is particularly weighty.
    

Why Nat is Brilliant, pt. 2

6. He's Type A, and I guess it turns out that I'm type A. I didn't want to believe it. But then Nat told me. Oh. I guess we are.
7. He picks out the coolest stuff for me to read. To wit, Robert Bolt's play "A Man For All Seasons" (the story of Thomas More, funny enough, that same Christmas, Derek got me Thomas More's "Utopia." Eerie?), and Speeches that Changed the World.  My kind of stuff.
8. He reads all the New York Times Op-Eds so I don't have to, then forwards all the good stuff to me.
9. Would be appalled that I have used the word stuff three times in this post without any of them being parts of Nelson's quotations.
10. He does his Home Teaching. As far as I can tell, it takes intelligence to see the need for home teaching and then doing it. And with all the other stuff he has to do, it takes true brilliance to find time to do take care of even this seemingly little thing.
