Well there I go again.
Somehow I always manage to make people angry at me. I guess it's a gift. Stay with me. In an hour or two I want to impart a great sports experience my imaginary friend had. It's really good..really,really.

I'm not going to do this thing now.
I don't feel like it. My very good friend, Len Lenetti, told me this story.I believe him.It's a great story. But I still dont feel like telling it. ================================================== ======== I walked the hill to reach the Akron Armory.A rather large building of old bricks,bulky,dark...old.It's called character.Looked good. As I entered (as per instruction at the rear),I thought back of how I got here.17 years old ,Februray,one of the 1960's.Followed my Fathers interest in boxing form the Wednesday and Friday Night Fights brought to you by Gillette.I really liked Ray Robinson and Carmen Basillio.They were my size and really,really good.Later I liked Emile Griffith and Floyd Patterson a lot,although Patterson was a heavyweight and a real enigma in this "sport."I remember hearing his fights with Johanson on the radio...all 3. The first was crushing,but the next 2 thrilling.Don Dunphy did them,I think. Pretty sure. Anyhoo---I was hooked.I got Lou what'shisnames book ( he was a big name lightwieght champion form the 30's) ...How To Box. I also studied The Ring and other boxing magazines. I would stare at the photos for hours to see the fighters body positions when they threw certain punches;how they leveraged their weight,etc.The nearest boxing club was too far away. I decided to start training myself with these perfunctory tools.I did buy a speed bag and a heavy bag and hung them in the garage.My Father helped me do this. I don't think he ever thought I would carry this through. I remember telling him of the date for my first Golden Gloves fight and ...maybe he would want to come.He just gave that look of bieng nice,but troubled by the offer and said.."No,I don't think so."We weren't real close at the time.I bought boxing gloves and soon was sparring with everyone who wanted to clock me.Kids around my age...even a couple grown men.I always told them I wouln't hit back.No one knew how to box so I was inspired.They couldn't do much even though there was no worry about any counter attack from me.My head grew large; I saw myself becoming welterweight and then middleweight champion of the world.....and then fans all over the world made the heavyweight champion sign to fight me. I beat the dickens out of him,too. So those were the thoughts running through my head as I approached this arena of gladitors.I reached the dressing room.Very crowded.The point was reached where someone elses corner men knew I was the only guy who didn't have anyone in his corner.It wasn't against the rules.Oh it was stupid,but not against the rules. The one guy said.."Hey.( The Life doesn't produce the most prolific wordsmiths in the world.) You are stupid for not having any help here.Oh it's not against the rules, but it's stupid." I just looked at him. I found him stupid. But he said he and the other team member would be there for me when my number was up...I mean called. I said.."OK." ================================================== ======== So I did it...big deal, but only the first part.It's supposed to be so tantalizing,supposed to have built your interest to such a crescendo ....a point where you have got to have more. And you will. When I feel like it. And you know the next half is the actual fight---and you know it's going to raise the hair on the nape of your neck and make tingling goose bumps all over your flesh. It's really that good,too. My next post will be that last half...maybe soon, maybe not.

Houston never was a secret...was fairly obvious.
Nothing is a secret anymore. And so.....The imaginary tale fades and makes way to what is real. Another human joins the 98% club,pushing it toward 99. A birdie plants its unhatched in anothers nest....so when it does, it may eat its neighbor. It's a wonderful life.

Granny..UPS!!......I mean ,Franny--- --oh I give up.
I'm not ready to be buried quite yet,althought there isn't much left. Am waiting for a miracle. Yes,that's what I said...a miracle. Have pretty much had it with people.People are yeech teweeey's!! A few aren't,but a very few.Hey---the weirdness continues.I hadn't mentioned this,but in the middle of all those "can't be coincidences",I stopped in the local dollar store. Oh it's an extravagance for me,but every now and then ...it's good for the soul.They have this beef stew.When you remove it from the nuclear ractor it looks like an oil spill.And something called Mother Shearers ruffley chippy dippy. But before I got to the "food" section I noticed a book sale. Hard covers for a dollar.I rifled through them and found one that sounded half good.Titled A Haunting In Cambria. More shock. Should have never done it. It's starting again. But I still can't bring it all to a boil. Really is bugging me to no end. The country's most haunted house is in New Orlens,no?Some day I have to go there. I won't go alone.Will you go with me? Staying the night would be thimply thmashing!! But I know you are spoken for and I only meant it as such fun scaries.....just the day tour would be good enough.Maybe one of your wuffies would take the night shift with me.I really do want to do this thing. Gosh...am rambling. Sorry. Kiss-Kiss....Hug-Hug.

Finished The Haunting In Cambria.
Awful book. The thrust of it really was abysmal...outrageous,in fact. "Out there" is putting it lightly.I never once felt frightened..at all. Some of the character interplay was pretty good,but that's about it.Only I could draw anything from it, and boy did I. The coincidences,order of them,what they try to spell out.. is beyond comprehension. But it's there. They all make statements and hint at things to come. The later is still indecipherable. But it all draws nearer...everything does. The Big Thing,too. What if it all materializes on May 1? What if it's an Entitlement,IceBox exactanator? What if it really is hip to be square????

Nothing like a klutzy intrusion from the Vanilla Wafer.
Speaking of some such;don't you think Dark Side of the Moon would be ahead of its time,even now? Do this....go down an interstate in the wee hours of the morning.It helps if you have been on the road for at least 14 consecutive hours,but anyways----plug in DarkSide.The whole thing sets off a mass of introspective,but go to where Money fades into Us and Them.Play it all the way out. I should have mentioned the interstate should be in Tennessee...or Arkansas....or Mississippi ,or its just ain't gonna work. One has to feel the unimpeded aloneness of it all.The lack of any civilization.The feeling you may be on a highway constructed only to trap you and take you to places unitended by your noodle.What will happen is your vehicle will go on autopilot.It will cruise at 90...following any twist and turn in the road without revenge.Your conscious mind will follow the notes and bring to the top things you wonder about...as well as things you don't wonder about. You will start wondering about both sets. It has a very calming influence if not revealing. It can also offer great inspiration. When it ends you will wonder where you have been as well as where you are at the moment. You will panic as you realize you cannot account for the better part of the last hour and have no idea where you are in the present. You will be very angry with me for following this suggestion. But when your senses return and your logical mind returns;well then you won't.

The book is called Ghost Hunters.
Yes,it is. Takes a different approach...not your usual crazy stuff.Through about one fifth of the thing. Real stuff.About scientists who were intrigued and not blind....and who were thereby castigated by their bonehead black and whites. These guys thought some of the unexplained paranormals would perhaps lead to a clearer explanation of God..and obviously proof of an after life. So far ...it's so good. And the little snot face who likes to type---You don't always get what you want, sometimes...you get what you need. Oh really? If truth is what you really want,then when you find it---you got what you wanted. I think this is life....truth.Knowing what that is. For instance: The Lexingounce  1 ...Krypton supah-dupah!! not!! Crink-EL... trash can 2...DowntownCharleeHO double Crinkle... trash can 3...DistortedDave keepahkeepahkeepah!! 4...Bushwhacked ror!! whack dat bush,baby!! Oh mine Got! rule-eng en leff-eng!! whiiiiirrrrrrrrrr!!!! 5...CallShot FinishLast Crinkle... trash can 6...Printh Will I Am Collapse in the Stretch He Will Crinkle... trash can 7... Phooey. Crinkle... trash can 8...Exhi wud?? Crinkle... trash can OK..they've gone by my 8 horsey limit---I'm bored. DistortedDave to win.
