Hummmm    Late last night in JD’s parking lot, after TWO-BEERS and possibly?

too much “Smoke” from the piece oops! peace pipe, the ole Indian was doing his

Tribal rendition of… DANCES WITH BEER BOTTLES! when an awesome virginal

looking Maiden came by & whispered to him, “Hey Chief, Wanna dance with me?”

Yikes! Smiling he leaped on his trusty 56 Steed and headed for his TeePee!

Well it was at that moment… the ole Medicine Man woke up! lol    Yep!  It was

quite a dream!  sigh! sniff! whimper!  Oh Well! There are some great memories!

Hey! B-T-B wasn’t kidding! This Friday meet him at Norman’s Sports Bar in Cocoa
from 5-7 PM.  The ole Indian has plenty of wampum and he will buy your first
20 draft beers!  Last Chance! The rent is due on the TeePee & ole paint needs some maintenance! Giddy-up!    B-T-B Don’t  miss  this!

Some sobering thoughts  as we look back and forward upon  our 5oth reunion celebrations eh?  Heard it yesterday 30 June 2010 on Garrison Keeler’s “Writer’s Almanac”

The Reunion
by Jack Ridl

The last time I saw them we were young.
Ginny was a cheerleader. Ben was getting
A’s in trig. Tonight we glance at nametags.

Around the cheese tray we say, “Of course
I remember you.” “Yes, four years ago.
Things are better now.” “No, she never
graduated, moved. I don’t know where.”

We look good. The food is just fine. The music
brings it all back and we dance the latest steps
across our brain’s prom floor. It’s all the same.

And nothing is. We’re still dumb kids, just gray
and tame. If we had to do it again, we’d get it
right. Some are sure they got it right the first

time. They ask for another Manhattan, dry
martini, scotch on the rocks. They glisten
in their tans. They watch the rest of us,

the ones with comb-overs, two divorces,
the ones who look for lower gas prices,
a good night’s sleep, group tours.
