You'll be able to recognize me for sure by my signboard, which says on the back "The End is Near", a little play on words, and on the front "Ask me about education reform" and "Available for speaking engagements to PTAs, Rotary, etc., modest fees, no chipped beef. Ask within." I may or may not have a golf umbrella, so try to recognize me without relying upon that. And if I hold up my little sign on a stick saying "Valet Parking", don't believe it.

Darned thing posted too soon. I'll be driving the aforementioned vehicle, a tan Falcon 190, you can Google a picture. I got to WPB today, and luckily found a place to park the Falcon for the next 3 nights at a reasonable price. Has power, too, so I have the air conditioning on high, and am sitting pretty with tomorrow to buy things and pack. See you at Noon on Wednesday and would even spring for a julep, what Northwesterners regard as the drink of choice of the South, from the Carolinas to Cuba. That’ll work.

If you would prefer to meet somewhere closer to WPB, just send directions. I drive a compact and it is cheap to operate and maneuverable.

Take I-95 S and get off at Atlantic Blvd in Pompano Beach. Head 3 Mi E to the beach and turn N at the ocean. There is parking across the street from the pier. Please review the website. http://bobshermanspage.com/PompanoPier.html I will be wearing shorts, flip-flops, t-shirt, a white Tilley Hat, wearing sunglasses. I have a dashing moustache. I will be carrying a monocular (a small, hand-held telescope). Email Robert for my home phone if you need to talk to to me between now and then.

If you're in W Palm Beach, we're less than a 100 miles apart. Get my email from Robert and maybe we can get together. I could go for a piece of cheesecake. I will email him my phone number. Speedy Gonzales? Jeez. You exaggerate a trait for comic effect, except I can’t draw so I have to steal images from the internet.

Maybe it's because they are crazy. After all, is it worth it? Maybe it's because people are afraid of strong emotions, both their own and those of other people. That may be an absolutely reasonable reaction. ER, with all due respect, I'd have to give you a 5.5 out of 10. I do have white hair, but much less of it. Two eyes, one nose, two lips, Caucasian, male. That anyone who can feel passionately about something is perceived as crazy?
