Warm weather makes people fear things will come apart. Honesty is the best policy because if you lie, you have to keep score. So GK doesn't need notes for his essays. Senator K had a sore back and headed for Tampa, FL. It may be a wonderful story but GK can't make up stories. So we'll have to wait for some facts. GK got his sore back playing softball. One summer, his team felt were pretty good. One game, they turned a double play, so they played a pretty good team from a bar in Minneapolis and lost 26 to 4 to a bunch of jerks. The biggest jerk came bat and hit one right through the shortstop. GK threw the ball to 3rd and the jerk ran right over the 3rd base woman. The outfielders didn't run in fast enough and the moment passed. GK didn't get mad until he took her to the hospital. He started to imagine what he should have done. Somehow he had failed her. All Sunday evening, he imagined what he should have done. He decided to punch out the next jerk he met, but he didn't meet any. He went to Olsen's Irish Lounge to find the jerk and followed him to the Men's Room. The jerk wanted to talk to him. GK hurt his back taking down the "Go get em" sign.
The hazard of icicles and bear traps.
