This guy that I am seriously attempting to embarrass is one of my best friends, Marvin Cole. If you haven't noticed, Marvin bears a marked resemblace to Mark Twain ... So much so that Marvin has been portraying Twain for a considerable part of his life. For many years, Marvin and I taught elderhostels together at the Mountain Retreat on Scaly Mountain near Highlands. We were frequently joined by Shelia Kay Adams and we developed a popular presentation that was a kind of mixed bag of storytelling and music called "A Season of Laughter." Recently, we were invited to the Mountain Retreat for a "Recognition Lunch" at which we were fed, praised and given tokens of appreciation (a paperweight, a Mountain Retreat cap, a coffee cup and a large photo of ourselves. Shelia Kay didn't show up so Marvin and I were left to recall the highlights of our elderhostel programs (I was there for 35 years). Regardless of what I may have felt about the Recognition Ceremony, I was pleased to see Marvin who is one of the most genial and kind people that I have ever met. He is still out there somewhere in an ice cream suit, smoking a big cigar and posing as Mark Twain to standing ovations. If you haven't seen him, you should Google him.
Google him I will. He DOES look like Twain. I remember Marvin from Western. What a great guy.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Mark Twain. Now I'm just trying to figure out who YOU remind me of.
ReplyDeleteWell, I resembled the young John Dillenger when I was also young. Now, if my hair is combed and I am photographed in a flattering light, I look a little like Kenny Rogers.
ReplyDeleteYes, could be. Except you're much better looking--not having succumbed to the knife (aka plastic surgery) like Kenny Rogers did. Kudos to you for that. There's something to be said for aging gracefully.
ReplyDeleteI owe it all to fried okra, black coffee and a steady supply of "noir" novels and movies.

ReplyDeleteBanyak sekali situs-situs yang membahas tentang menggugurkan kandungan dengan tujuan untuk mencegah kehamilan . Namun untuk kasus tertentu seperti darurat medis yang bisa membahayakan ibu hamil maupun janinnya atau korban perkosaan cara menggugurkan hamil boleh dilakukan . Tetapi yang perlu di ingat cara menggugurkan kandungan secara alami seperti menggunakan nanas muda maupun pepaya muda atau bahan alami lainnya sangat tidak di anjurkan . Ternyata mimpi basah tidak hanya dialami oleh kaum pria saja , wanita juga mengalaminya . Bagi para suami sangat penting sekali untuk mengetahui cara membuat wanita cepat keluar dalam melakukan hubungan intim . Dalam satu bulan siklus menstruasi pada setiap wanita berbeda-beda , bisa saja terjadi antara 23-35 hari , namun rata-rata siklus haid wanita adalah 28 hari
