Weather: Beautiful Still
Trail Conditions: Good day to ride, nice tomorrow too
Another beautiful day in Bergland. 60 degrees in the house this morning but 5 minutes of the furnace solved that. Possible rain on Saturday but who the hell cares. Live for today I guess.
Sad news about Robin Williams, it is even worse that Social Media or TV will not let him RIP. It has to be hell on his family. Good thing we are not famous, hopefully none of us will have to deal with what his family is dealing with. Millions of people can say positive things and one asshole is negative and what does everyone remember? Kind of reminds me of the joke about the Bridge Builder.
MY NAME IS ALICE , AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST
APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST.
I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.
SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME
NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO.
COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK
THEN?
UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.
THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO
OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.
AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD
ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL ..
‘YES. YES, I DID. I’M A MUSTANG,’ HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.
WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?’ I ASKED.
HE ANSWERED, ‘IN 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?’
YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!’, I EXCLAIMED.
HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.
THEN, THAT UGLY,
OLD, BALD,
WRINKLED FACED,
FAT-ASSED,
GRAY-HAIRED,
DECREPIT SON-OF-A-BITCH ASKED,
‘WHAT DID YOU TEACH???
