AT THE SPRINGS

Ah, Gentle Readers, today was a day like any other day.

Any other day, that is, when an infrequent meeting of the Rock Springs Rumble is held.

Baseball Steve organized this lunch gathering at the famous Rock Springs Cafe.

Steve is shown here accepting the plaudits of the other participants.


Or perhaps doing a perp walk, one can never be sure.

Others on hand included Legendary Lew Ruggiero.


That's just water with lemon, not a gin and tonic.

And King Karl Kindberg, here about to attack a giant plate of nachos.


Karl told me today I should drop that "Gentle Readers" crap from these posts.

In spite of my high regard for the man who for reasons I can't explain acquired the nickname "Doc", I shant.

And a new "mystery guest" to these gatherings, as Steve put it.

One of our number who still actually works for a living, Al "Bert" Macias.


Oh, yes, and your scribe was there too, though my photograph comes from my files.

And though it may resemble it, not from beyond the grave.


As usual many tales of long ago were told.

Some of them true, one would guess.

I shall not repeat any of them here, regardless of the statute of limitations.

Suffice it to say a good time was had by all, as always, and none of us got arrested.

    1. Well, semi-regular. But since the ages today ranged from 65 to 82, yes it is a good thing.

  2. It's good you old lions gather, but next time let someone get a fresh snap shot of you.

  3. What happens in Rock Springs stays in Rock Springs.

  4. That photo of you could land you honest work doing bit parts in Zombie Apocalypse films, like a farmer opening the door to see the Zombies approaching the farm.

  5. If Karl also goes by the name Doc, the phrase "never play cards with a guy named Doc" comes to mind.

  6. Yes, some tales are better kept private. ;)
