Last
year I posted 1,875 pictures on this blog; that's an average of
5+ per day. Before Christmas I scanned through them all, and
picked about 200 that grabbed me. This was the winner. The
reason I didn't announce the award on New Years Eve, like I planned,
was I didn't want this to be the winner. But it is.
But Why?
I think a good photograph, or painting, should be evocative.
Should immediately take you someplace you didn't expect to go.
This 60s era photo did that. I owned that exact sport coat, and
my High School gf, the first time I ever went "steady" (and the
last), is a spitting image of bike
girl , from the waist up anyway. Her name was
Cheryl. That's where it took me. Your destination will be
different, but just as pleasant I hope.

I was getting all caught up in the sentiment until I got to the part about "the first and last time you went steady".....then I realized that the anticipation of someone messing with your eye had clouded your memory almost as badly as your clouded vision. I, fondly remember "Leslie"... You have no idea how much your two cousins admired your prowess and adept studliness in landing such a fox! And THEN, your hookup with the future Mrs. RTRKF! Your's is a life of embarrassment of riches Cuz!
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow! All guys that I know that have gone through similar procedures say that the results are almost tantamount to a new lease on life!

I was engaged to Leslie.

ReplyDeleteShoulda been a puzzle!

ReplyDeleteYou, sir, are a consummate splitter of hairs..... Nonetheless, your Barn Army rank and file are looking forward to your post-recovery SITREP.
