Ietquay onay ethay etailsday.
Ahem....Dear Leslie,<br /><br />Ietquay onay ethay etailsday.<br /><br />Ahem. The police car was "borrowed" and returned once the alleged perpetrators realized it was a police car--the shotgun was a clue. (And, no, I was not involved.)<br /><br />The "offroad bike incident" was mostly on-road, until my still breathing carcass slid off the road. Thank God the road was wet, I had on leather, and no telephone poles intervened. (I think I may have left the kickstand down, it's still a mystery.)<br /><br />The off-road incident was hitting a jump then realizing in mid-air that Vermont has rivers during mud season that aren't usually there. Engine sucked air, died, I couldn't gt it out of gear, and half-carried the bike home.<br /><br />(The other off-road motorcycle incident involved another family member flying into someone's vegetable garden--I think he did more damage flying out of it than he did landing in it.)doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-1048464199657794182009-08-04T20:16:06.437-04:002009-08-04T20:16:06.437-04:00A month after I met Michael, his dad took his sons...A month after I met Michael, his dad took his sons (18 and 17?) up to Vermont for a weekend of motorcycling, possibly drinking, and according to some witnesses, inadvertent stealing of a police car. Michael came back with his leather jacket in tatters from some offroad bike "incident." And sounding like he'd had a great time. Good thing he had the jacket on, or it woulda been his hide in tatters.<br /><br />Bill Doyle was just as cool as Michael shows him to be here. I was very fortunate to have a second chance at a dad after losing mine early.Leslienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-41324337071931004912009-08-04T09:39:15.418-04:002009-08-04T09:39:15.418-04:00I'm glad you posted it too.

...Dear Tom,<br /><br />Trollies, back alleyways, and bricks.<br /><br />I think the trips through Noah's Ark at Kennywood warped me a bit. I loved the town, the grittiness (everything was black from the coal), and, of course, my grandparents. <br /><br /><br /><br />Dear Betty, momomom, and Ken,<br /><br />Thanks for the words. I debated posting this one, and now I'm glad that I did.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-1289782539057307892009-08-04T02:49:40.150-04:002009-08-04T02:49:40.150-04:00Dad's are special.
