Death comes for us all (a melodramatic haiku of retirement)
Alas! this blog is

Onwards! (Back to home.)



guts and garters

It's all fun and games until someone loses molecular cohesion.

Does anyone else remember this? Specifically, the conga line of rowdy costumed folk.

It happened to me again today. Since it's almost a year to the day, I assumed I am now part of some grande educational institution's tradition.

Either I was running earlier or they were running later, since I met them in the Walk this time, which is some two blocks further on from Myers, where I encountered them last year. This time, they were (all of them - they hadn't acquired any normal ring-ins yet) be-toga-ed, one chap lagging behind as he tried to retie his at his shoulder. The chaps in the lead were singing a conga-ed up version of "Old McDonald had a Toga". ("With a toga toga here and a toga toga there! Here a toga, there a toga, everywhere a toga toga!")

I grinned for another block whole. After the week I've had, that was just about precisely what I needed. So to those people: pants off (sheets on). Too much metal for one hand. \mm/
