Hello TJ
Be there or be square, you said. As we agreed, I went kayaking yesterday after swimming in the rainy ocean. My objective was to support your effort to meet the mid term weight loss milestone, which is not far away at all. I am not a good verbal cheerleader, but maybe I can support you back in action? You are my buddy.
Actually, my ulterior motive was that I wanted to see you in your nice office clothes, the shirt tucked in and all. Oh, and I wanted to see my gators again.
Alligators are elusive when I look for them. Yesterday I decided to avoid them, as I was tired and the kayak was not cooperative, and guess what, one of the gators decided to swim parallel to my kayak. He was a fast swimmer.
By the way, Michael Henderson died. He was the bassist for Miles Davis, and probably my favorite bassist. If you practice your bass guitar like I told you to, maybe you’ll be my favorite bassist one day.

This post is for Tim Vail. “Mac’s Speed Shop provides some comfortable acceptance at the end of my work week,” Tim unassumingly remarked. He mentioned Mac’s twice since my arrival in NC and that was a good enough reason for me to dine at the bike themed joint. I wasn’t expecting “comfortable acceptance” though, harmless anxiety toward heathens is still very intact in this town, and I knew I’d be received coldly in a setting filled with patriotic bbq lovers. I used to avoid them because I interpreted their detachment (and hostility at times) as the refusal to acknowledge my unalienable rights. But over the years I gained a sympathetic insight into their discomfort towards me, or anything I represent in their world. I even welcome their aloofness. I now know there is quiet acceptance behind their icy stare. I say acceptance, because they manage to coexist with me without treating me like a chinadoll or imposing the Bible on me. I grew to value their self restraint.
The brisket burnt ends were sublime. I chuckled, thinking that Tim was right, as he always is. I didn’t particularly feel welcomed at Mac’s but I was definitely comfortable, and I might even masterfully elevate my comfort to an ambition to become a regular who eats at a tall topper.
