Becky Krepsbach got fired at Skoglund's so she started a Woman's Aerobic Dance Class at Our Lady Church. Father Emil walked over from the rectory when he heard loud music booming up from the church basement and saw fifteen women jumping up and down. Sister Arvanne explained that the woman needed exercise. Johnny Tollefsen is home from college for the summer resting from the year's exertion. He can fill legal pads with writing, after reading Walt Whitman. He made a list of the life experiences that he needed. To experience true despair, he visited the Sidetrack Tap. He took his legal pad with him to record impressions. Mr. Berge bought him a beer and a bump. Johnny threw the whiskey back. He never liked beer. Mr. Berge bought him another one. The sun blinded him outside the door and he fell into the gutter. As he fell he saw his Aunt Flo and Uncle Bud going to Wednesday church meeting. Oh Johnny.
