Tangible/Intangible Benefits of Bike Commuting

Dear God, I campaigned for that election and I can't even remember. I was far too busy being totally smitten and madly in love with my first and greatest love of a tall, cool, exceedingly delectable college fencer.

So I campaigned for Nixon with him, learned to fence with him (literally and figuratively) and ultimately both of us went to the Olympic tryouts in NYC where I was soundly trounced out of my delusions of being the Southeastern Women's Fencing Champion.

Ahhhhh, the memories. I recently received an email from him and I must say that we are both still wistful of those days.

He can still fit into his college fencing knickers......while I on the other hand have "matured" rather profoundly.

I'd post a recent photo of him in all his well-maintained grandeur but then I'd have to, in all fairness, post a recent photo of me, and well......I'd prefer to remember us as we were then. So call me shallow.

It was Hubert Humphrey. I was the only kid in my third grade class whose parents planned to vote for him

Yep, me too (not same grade but same parents...)

Didn't Humphrey run against Nixon in 1968? I voted for him in 1972, about a month before my 19th birthday. Ah... I can't remember, either. Was it McGovern?
I must have been brainwashed from living in S. Florida for a few years by that time (no offense to any Floridians). Or maybe the fact that my parents had been "Rockefeller Republicans" when I was growing up here in MA. They quickly changed after moving to AZ and then to CA.
I love Delaware, Pardes. We spent a night in New Castle a couple of years ago, on the way home from Hilton Head. It was so historic, the B and B was awesome, and they had a CYCLING museum!

I think you're right, Crankin -- Humphrey in '68, McGovern in '72 is what I think I remember. Of course, I was but a little tyke back then, but my folks were strong Democrats so I heard a lot about politics growing up! Watching the Democratic Convention was a big highlight in our family home.
