The DN






1   An old movie is blasting behind me.

2   I didn't really even look to see which movie.

3   I'm now working in my office, which once in a great while morphs into a man-cave. 

4   That happens when everyone else is out exercising. 

5    My plan is to go for long walks when everyone else is jazzercising and stuff. A friend of mine did Alum Rock Park on Sunday. That's a nice hike. 

6   I just got out of school too late yestiday for me to go out on anything resembling a hike.

7   That's the way those mugs in 30's movies say the word "yesterday". "Yestiday". Whatever movie that is behind me right now has all that corny 30's dance music, and voices yelling, "Hiya Pop!" or "Sayyyyyy..." It's downright glamorous bathing in all of that corniness. Insert pic of beach guy from the 30's in a one-piece with stripes. Coney Island stuff. You get the drift.

8   This all comes at me from a 13-inch teevee that we bought a bajillion years ago, but which acts like it's a bigger teevee. 

9   Reminds me of Rocket J. Dog, who has been known to bear his chest at large pit bulls. 

10  Anyhow, that was the atmosphere here yesterday afternoon. 

11  Sepia, goofy music, and dog barks.

12  Ah, it's a livin'.

13  Moving on, Part One: I loved the afternoon yesterday.

14  It became a bit dangerous though.

15  No baseball.

16  I KNOW, I KNOW!

17  

18   Don't tell anyone, but it was sort of liberating.

19   #hacked.

20   Oy.

21   Did that just say "hashtag hacked?" I may have been. It stands to reason. Then again, I may not have been. Just enjoying the peace. <falls into Disney daydream, complete with bluebirds and forest animals>

22   I SHOULD be hiking through Alum Rock Park. I hear there are wild boars there.

23   Some say.

24   If I was hiking through Alum Rock Park and came upon a wild boar, why I'd...

25   Wild boars?

26    I'm sorry. I'm too important to get eaten by a wild boar.

27    I'm consider myself a major player in the English department. 

28   I teach English. Understand this. I am professional, and quite reserved. 

29   <crickets>

30   My I say that professionally, I am a bit of a wild bore.

31  

32    Just kidding. I'll never do that again. I swear.

33    


34   <crickets>

35   <sigh>

36

37   Homie don't sigh.

38   Anybody lookin'?

39   Just wating.

40    For Gaw-doe.

41    Who he?

42    <Changes the channel to avoid Robin Williams/Steve Martin vibes>

43   Oh...nobody.

44   

45   Godot.

46    This mustn't continue.

47   

48    #hackedagain

49    Lay the blame on Walt Disney.

50   <Entire world stops>

51   <Sheepishly> Uh...did you know that Don Pardo walked into a bar?

52    Gottago. Something told me I oughta take a hike.

53     Much love.

54    See you again.

55    Peace.
