09/01/2003: "English Bob"

Remember when, during cocktail hour, you were trying to read your latest issue of The Economist, and I was regaling you (read irritating you) with the fantasy suggestion that we should work out hard for the rest of the winter and appear the following summer, strong as spring steel and huge. We could then, I went on, have suits made with capes and some kind of crest on the chest, and fight crime nights and rainy days while on vacation in Michigan. Click more.. below.

I didn't think you were listening too closely when, as I hesitated to sip my martini, you looked up over your glasses and said, "I'll think about it," and went back your magazine. Undaunted, I waited until you took a pull on your martini, and fantasizing on I said, "people will be looking down at our beach and asking each other, in speculative whispers, who those huge guys in the suits might be." And, you, this time without looking up, joined the fantasy conversation and whispered with the same speculative tone, "it isn't Bob..."

Happy birthday, English Bob; you're the greatest.
