Jack of All Trades...

My wonderful, talented, oh-so-amazing cousin Jack passed the Illinois Bar Exam!

Jack and I are the same age and have been good buds since we were old enough to realize how cool we are (there were some awkward pre-teen years where we didn't want anything to do with each other but that's pretty standard). In high school he was the lead in all the plays and musicals at his school (my high school's rival), and I would always go to support him and show him how great I thought he was! My personal favorite of his was See How They Run :)

 Jack being all musical and such...

He's my cousin on my dad's side, and we both had a special connection to our Grandma Ziggy. After Ziggy's passing, Jack and I got even closer and really enjoy sharing stories about how funny that lady was - and how much she really loved us.

Now that stinkin' Jack is a LAWYER living the big life up in Chicago - but I couldn't be prouder of him. Seems like anything this kid sets his mind to, he actually goes and does it (what a novel idea...)

So congratulations to you, Jack David. You are pret-tay, pret-tay awesome. But a little tip from me to you... don't give up on your musical talents yet. I think you'd make an amazing Billy Flynn someday on Broadway.


Mr. Billy Flynn
