I could have checked on that so easily, couldn’T I have. Yet I just couldn’t be arsed.

Okay, fifteen, then. Which would explain why I was riding a bike (actually a blue 10-speed Puch Bergmeister by then, I guess) and not driving the truck I got when I was 16-17 (turquoise 1958 Chevy Apache half-ton pickup).

Nixon resigned in August of 1974. I know ’cause it was the year I graduated from college, and my then-wife, daughter and I were spending the summer on my grandmother’s farm in Sussex County, New Jersey. Yep, August of ’74…

the payback? there are several electric instruments [with wall vibrating amplifiers] and a drum set in my garage…

“someday i’ll be able to buy you a new house, mom!”

“i should hope SO. you’re shaking THIS one to the ground.”

Finally went to bed at 1 am this morning, woke up at 8 with no hangover, jsut a little tired which was very, very good, because it turned out Gamma has a new piano – Beta’s harp teacher is loaning us one because Gamma wants to learn piano.

Listen, 7 year old girl with new piano: not good for a hangover. She improvised for 8 hours straight. I’m sure Keith Jarret sounded a lot like that at the age of 7.

you, sir, are no president. the standard you are (or should be) held to is not the same as the one to which nixon was held.

also: we were with the martinis last night. so, sorry about your poor tender head, if it’s anything near what mine is.

Ape-hanger handlebars up front with hand brakes, white ‘banana seat’ with shock absorbers on the bottom near the rear wheel. Wide white walls with a knobby tire on the back. What a pimpin’ ride that was… Nixon was a god then, but LBJ was still fresh in everyone’s memory too.

Have one for me.
