“Get over here, Motherfuckers,” yelled a fisherman, a skipper unlike that oaf on tv, a third generation Kodiak Alaska man’s man, and my boss for the next 4 months in the middle of the ocean. What in the hell was I thinking.”

“You don’t understand the culture, the food is full of weirdness, the people are kind of rude and look at you funny, but there, after a while, you settle tentatively in and maybe even find someone to sit with at lunch. Switching high schools is tough.”

from our last event held in April, at Stonefly Brewery : ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’
“On our 3rd date we got locked in the Milwaukee Art Museum! We were in a far gallery, and without warning all the lights went out. We slowly felt our way past sculptures, pedestals holding breakable things. We got to sit on the furniture behind the ropes! Almost art thieves.”

“It’s now or never as I ride my 16 year old self, 10 miles, on my cheap 10 Speed all the way to a 17 yr old boy’s house. I …stop. Walk up. Now!….or never. I get back up on my bike and ride those 10 miles back home.”

The Theme: Now or Never
“When I was about 5 years old, my father and I attended an event with Bob Hope. My father elbowed his way up to Mr. Hope and took a chance to speak. He said, ‘Mr. Hope, my daughter wants to be an actress when she grows up. Do you have any advice for her?’ He turned around and touched my head and said, ‘Sure. Don’t grow up!’”

“Engulfing my hand with his pre-cooked, doughy bratwurst fingers…soft, pudgy handshake. Unable to let go because I was so disgusted until the secret service man said, “Ma’am, please let go of his hand.
The Day I met Bill Clinton.”

Not a fan of the Bill, eh? ; )
