Scott Silverman and three of his buddies were laughing and joking after a shower at the gym. Seeing his phone move on the top shelf of his locker, he hangs his slacks back on the hook and retrieves it. Looking, he sees several missed calls from his brother, Ricky, aka Dicko, along with a text to call him.

Wonder what Dicko's got himself into...punching the speed dial. At 18, Ricky is finishing high school, and is going to join Scott at Tech University.

At 21, Scott is wrapping up his degree and moving on to a Masters program.

DICKO!!!!!

holding the phone away from his ear, smiling, the buddies laughing, then returning and listening. okay, Admissions emailed you.... You knew...

Guys, slipping on his slacks, he's gonna wish he hadn't asked for help. Let's grab a beer!

They met at a local hole in the wall pizza parlor with great pizza and better prices. Jeff, Alan and Jacob were all with him, and he begins.

You all know Dick's going to Tech?

Jeff said I'm sorry, and the others nodded. Scott grinned slightly. Well, he's near panic. He found out about two weeks before I did that he was in.

And just after that the hernia pack arrived. Forms,...including the.....looking, no answers...MEDICAL The form's past due.
