Aquajock
Cathlete
Thought Cathe and the gang would get a kick out of today's A-Jock Vignette:
I was doing my power walk during my lunch hour this afternoon (looking, I might add, like a goblin from Planet Stupid with my billed hat, black tee shirt, shorts and Walkman), and I had just passed by a downtown park and going up a nearby bridge when this attractive, willowy blonde woman, also in walking garb and headphones, stopped me. She asked, "Excuse me, is your name Annette?" I said it was, straining to remember where I'd met her before - office? aqua class? booking area at the jail?
She then said, "Do you sometimes go by AQUAJOCK?" (oh sh**) I said I did, and she said, "I'm 'NBergren' from the Cathe forums!"
Folks, I almost fell into the Mighty Mississippi. She said she'd remembered meeting Jillybean and JMFRANE (sic) a couple of years ago at get-together that a few Minnesota Cathe-ites had arranged, and she said that they had mentioned that I walked during my lunch hour sometimes. To put the old tin lid on it, the logo on NBergren's tee-shirt was the same as the logo on my hat: "Life is good."
I felt like something out of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" - remember how "normal" all the pod-people looked, and then when the pods saw a non-pod they gave out that weird scree and let their tongues roll out of their mouths and point?
We're out there, Cathe. And our numbers are growing.
