Decades really.
Yesterday we went back.
Not literally.
Neither of us are literalists.
We also went to a liberal Seminary together, well, at least at the time it was liberal but when we left it had experienced a hostile takeover by a raging group of Baptist As Terrorists ... or B.A.T. ... which Homeland Security probably has on its top ten list.Neither Mitch nor I were members of B.A.T.
Mark Wood was probably a member.
He's the quiet type. And he always has a smirk on his face. Quiet smirking Baptists merit suspicion. Plus he infiltrated Baptist Headquarters on the college campus and kidnapped Gyni who is the daughter of "The Bird," the mastermind of all things Baptist at the college we all went attended.
It's not that any of this is relevant.
But Mitch and I carried on a virtual conversation yesterday for an hour or so only using the titles of songs by Elvis.
It's the kind of the conversation you have in college and in our non literal way we may as well have been on campus.
Had Mark virtually skipped class like Mitch and I were I'm certain he would have participated.
I was on the back deck writing the curriculum for a class I'm teaching in October. The class is "Finding Peace in your Life" and I was really into it until Mitch posted his status on Facebook.
The status had nothing to do with Elvis but, as everybody knows, "the spirit of The King" is everywhere. Before we knew it, we'd wasted an hour speaking in Elvis tongues.
Both of us were all shook up.
I have no idea what Mitch was supposed to be doing. He works for HOSPICE. He could have killing time. But he proved once again that there's always time for Elvis.
Anyway, I've got to finish the curriculum before Sarah finds out about this. I'm behind schedule and I've got to get it to her immediately.
It's now or never!
Because she's one of those people with suspicious minds.
I want to stay her Teddy Bear and if I can get this finished I think she will love me tender.
If it's not then it's Jailhouse Rock for me.
So ... thank ya. Thank ya very much!
