Mio amico Nino
Nino is one of my best friends (note that i didn't start with: "Nino is a great guy" - too classic). Yet he is great, somebody you can admire for his attitude and principles. We met in grad school (Go Blue !). Even if he claims to be better looking than me (which has been proved untrue in many occasions) and supports a nation that won the world cup by pure luck, I still like him a lot. Our ritual is lunch at least once a week at Bravo! (i'll put a picture). It's always a great time, espcially when we've had one of these stressful mornings. In addition to be with one of my best friends it's an opportunity to talk about a lot of interesting subjects. From business, to politics, from philosophy to soccer. We challenge each other and always end up with a new way to look at things, a new perspective... that's what's great about exceptionnal people like Nino, you never waste a second with them. I also learned a lot about the US culture, the tricks, the underwater part of the iceberg, that is sometimes not easy to seize when you grew up with a different culture.
So... Thanks Nino, you're always a great support and a great friend !
One last word ! Nino has just been recognized as one of the top young leaders of the state (40 under 40). Better choice couldn't have been made ! Congrats Nino !

Cedric, thanks for the kind words, but the truth is that we are all lucky for knowing you!
On the topic of brain surgery, we can discuss the timing and extent of the surgery at our next lunch.
