Inspired by Fat Red Ant, who was inspired by Dan Waber, I am taking up the challenge to write about 365 memorable people whose paths have crossed mine. The form is 44 words, in honor of the number of years spent running into them.

360/365 A Fourth Mark
Junior year, my neighbor and I were the new kids. I bummed rides in his old blue Fiat (a choke on the dash). Good-looking and pissed off, he openly scoffed at what passed for “mountains.” For awhile, I made out with his older brother.
I mean, will it be a 44-word deal, but about subjects other than people? Or about people, but not limited to 44 words? I can't wait to hear more about it!
MM: Being near mountains is a wonderful thing, even tiny Vermont mountains. I'm sure if I ever lived near western ones I would resent it if I had to leave them behind...
A Choke on the dash...awesome! Vrrommm!
ReplyDeleteOnly 5 left I.B.
What's next?
Another disgruntled displaced Westerner?
ReplyDeleteFunny how the older brother hasn't had a post written about him.
ReplyDeleteCedar: And won't get one.
ReplyDeleteHelen: Yup.
lo: I'm working on getting a new blog up and running, but I have a pesky February 2 work deadline to meet, so there may be a slight delay.
ReplyDeleteHow cool about the new blog, IB! What will the format be?
ReplyDeleteSY: Uh oh. There has to be a format?

ReplyDeleteYes, do leave us a link. Now about your post....may we assume he was scoffing at your breasts? How rude!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, Susan, that would be a logical assumption to make.
ReplyDeleteWell, if I can get a word in on Mark's behalf, when I moved back East after having lived near the mountains, it took years to get over missing them.
ReplyDeleteOoh, i'm such a joiner; if you want people to copy.
ReplyDeleteMy dad's old sports car had a choke on the dash. Heh.
