A Small Gathering

Once again I was the leader of the class on Wednesday. It was a good hard class that I had been working on for a couple of days. I think everyone who attended got a very good workout.
Some of the people who were there were Mary, who was working out like a champ as always. And there was Heidi who was, wait a minute she wasn't there, but Monday when I asked her if she was going to come on Wednesday she said "Yes I will be there, I am not working." Oh well. But the other Wendy was in attendance. The women is a bear for exercise, she takes the class after the spin class as well. And Jim was the........well no he wasn't. I had just played golf with him on Tuesday and the last thing I said to him was " Are you coming to spin on Wednesday?" And he said yes. Oh well. And let see who else was there, oh yes Dolly. She comes to every class and her with asthma, leg problems and a hearing problem. And I am no doctor but her hearing problem could be caused by the yellow plugs sticking out of her ears. And let' see who else was there ah yes Dede. Wait a minute when I talked to her on Monday "Are you coming Wednesday?" she said "Oh yea I'll be there." And she was a no show. Then there was this interloper who has been showing up to all of the classes as of late. And that was it, four people.

I am now smelling my arm pits to see if that is the reason that I am this pariah, or is it that your pal has lost his luster. Am I becoming just like that old shoe that can be thrown in to the corner and left to gather mold and end up smelling like the rotting corpse of the old man who you have not seen in a couple of days, but there is this smell coming from his house. Am I a stuffed shirt? Am I a horse-faced hypocrite? Am I a New England school marm?

A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl............ Sorry I don't know were that came from, although I have been watching the classic movie Citizen Kane a lot lately. Now were was I.......Oh well have a good day.
