Nick

Part of beaching it at a resorty place in Florida is "the guy" who rents you an umbrella and lounges. Yes, you read that right - my Sainted wife and her sisters managed to find the one resort that doesn't throw that in with everything else. 

But that's how we met Nick - a laid back surfer dude who clearly spends his non-working hours surrounded by a dense marijuana cloud. Nick was in charge of the umbrella renting business. He was unbelievably good at it while - at all times, mind you - acting like the most carefree stoner you ever met. 

Periodically, Nick would pop by to move our umbrella so we wouldn't have to move the lounges to follow the sun. Not too shabby for an amiable surfer dude. Any movie maker would envy this casting. 

He defined being laid back. Pretty much the opposite of a curmudgeon.
