Three Beautiful Things 08/06/07: Danny, Pat, Jimmy

1. When's the last time I saw Danny Reasor? I went with Ed to Danny's shop today, and while Ed's truck got serviced Ed and Danny and I had a good BS session.

2. When's the last time I saw Pat Allen? 1997 maybe? He's on the custodial staff at the Cd'A Casino and Ed and I ran into him and got caught up. Pat's retired, living on a great piece of land near Tekoa and looked as relaxed and happy as I've ever seen a guy our age. (The Casino trip was fun and cheap. Just the way I like it!)

3. When's the last time I was in the building that once housed Patano's Apparel and Mode O Day? The Deke asked me to purchase a book on panda's at Papa's Barn, and I went in today and swore I could see Jimmy Patano whisk out of the back room, a tape measurer slung over his arm, and hear him rag on me for being a Teddy.

  1. Hope: A Teddy would be the opposite of a macho man...a chicken...a pussy...a person lacking certain manly qualities...not tough...does this help?

  2. Great sketch letting us know about former classmates.

    I'm glad Hope asked the question. . .I was wondering, but thought it might be something like you described. Does that mean that when a woman describes her man as a teddy bear. . .that he's lacking something??? I don't think so.
