Up

Those who think of freedom in this country as one long, broad path leading ever onward and upward are dead damned wrong.

The other night / a few months ago Leslie and I went to see Ranky Tank on campus. They were great.

There were a lot of older people there and as we were leaving after the concert, I was behind a 120-year-old man and his 115-year-old friends. They had to go up a hill to where they had parked. One of the 115-year-old friends turned to the 120 year old man and said, "If you can't walk up this hill to the parking lot, just run up it instead."
