Life Rule #42: If Chico ever asks you to do something, you are under obligation to carry it out. I'm not sure where or when it started, but I became indoctrinated a few years ago when I joined Chico's pick-up basketball league where he presides as Commissioner. Fast forward to yesterday when I joined him and some other lads for holiday hoops. He emailed me a couple of days prior to the 4th of July and asked if I could make it down to play for a couple of hours. A cancelled barbecue and a complete rearrangement of my day off of work and I was there. Sure, I was happy to make it down and see everyone, but I was there partly because you don't turn down the Commissioner.
The nice thing is that he's benevolent about it. He doesn't overuse the privilege. But, for example, if he needed some peach iced tea at 4:30 a.m. and asked you to get it, it would take a crisis at home for me or anyone else to turn him down.
