Strawberries, Jeans and Poetry

That's funny minermama. More of a dud than stud, I just got along with everyone. Small class, so after Most Likely to Succeed, Smartest, Best Athlete, Funniest, etc., all they had left when they got to me, was Favorite.

That is the current Mrs. Charles Bonham on top of my car and how she jumped up there, I don't remember. Now, she was and always has been a class act and a Favorite of the entire Class of '71.

I think the car was a Ford Pinto.

And that is the history behind the photo, as I remember it.

I enjoyed the comments on the last blog, just hated the topic and it was time to move on before we had Bob Dylan running for the Progressive Party.

Your "secret identity" is safe with me and I can keep a secret, just ask Jimmy Olsen and Perry White.

1976 was a great year, I drove to Alaska in January of 1976 (which I hope to do again sometime) and I became a father in July of 1976(which I shall never do again).

Nothing like a Ford Pinto, mine could do 0-60 in about a week and a half and could haul one and a half friends (very small ones) for at least a block and a half.

I gaurantee that the History of The Party Wagon would be a lot more interesting than the History of Ol' Simmons. Let's take a vote. Who would rather hear about the stories from the Party Wagon?

Poet Laureate..haha..give me a break.

...Thanks for changing your blog. Do you think that Bob could have fit in that pinto?

Using Selena rather than Serena to rhyme with Jelena was brilliant! Were you taught poetry by Kris Kristofferson at West Point?

Was that a "Smile" or were you "Talking?", or maybe asking her on a date?

Im really glad Pawtucket and Nantucket didnt have any newsworthy sports, or this blog might have been adults only.

On a more serious note, kudos to Jerry and Gayle Margraff for the wonderful tournament they will be holding this weekend at the Phil. My favorite weekend of the year on the course, and a wonderful fund raiser for the Ronald McDonald house. Having fun with my best friends and raising money for such a great cause at the same time is truly priceless.

Ol Simmons, polish up that putter, I feel a good run out of the dark horses this year.

Though a newbie to your tracts, I just had to weigh in.

Longfellow and Dickinson don't have to worry about being displaced any time soon.

And I've seen the putter get better as the holes go by. There's a lot to be said for "swing oil."

I love to read these!!!!!! You all can make me laugh on an otherwise hectic day. Thank you!!

"I don't think you realize that being voted the "Favorite" is the highest honor you can get!"

Ah but I do, and it was only won by constant campaigning. I set my goal on it as a very young man and worked diligently throughout my life to attain that prestigious award. If you are lucky enough to win this award, then you have a lot of good friends. I'll never have much money, but I'm rich with friends, the most valuable commodity on this planet.

And now...groupies...I'm in heaven. G'night, just got a new book in the mail (Under the Cloud by Richard Miller), time to lay down and read.

By the way if any of my "friends" want to sub tomorrow for my Elks' partner, I'm looking for one, just call 381-2855. :>)

Curt, that doesn't bode well for your Olympic chances. Did you not try the high fade on him? Did you not brush in the putts with authority?

Thanks for the tip. After I go through all of my phone messages from last night, let's see, I got none, so that won't take long, I guess I'll call Rex. I doubt that he's up yet.

I didn't actually get them all of the way on. I may have to exercise again for about 2-3 hours a day for another 20 years before I could get back into 32s.

A recent photograph would look a lot like Larry the Cable Guy in Speedos.

Thanks Curt. That was a pretty wild ride for a while, especially trying to putt on 10 in that wind. I would really like to know what those wind speeds were at that time.

I would say that the competition between those two teams was as much fun as I've had in years.
