It Came to Pass...
Feb. 6th, 2008 10:11 pmI just found out that Lou Palmer has died. He was a racing announcer for many, many years, known for his somewhat surreal sense of humour. One of my favourites:
Donald Davidson: "Bobby Rahal is [...] extremely interested in world history, and one of his hobbies is recreating famous battles."
Lou Palmer: "Wow. You need a lot of friends for that."
*****
The Maharishi has also died. The Maharishi himself never impressed me that much, but I'm sorry to see another link to the Beatles and that entire age gone.
*****
Something less savoury from that time.

You're going to hate me.

This year it will be taught at the clubhouse for the golf course at the track. My husband and I will be there. Y'know, if you take 70 from Columbus it's only 2-1/2 hours (or less, if you drive like me).
