A dream realized, followed by disaster
This past weekend, one of my life goals was finally accomplished-- I met Goldy Gopher. He starred in my favorite video, taught me how to do my laundry, and is a man-about-town (er, gopher-about-town) here in Minneapolis.
Anyways, I was at a cross country meet, and saw that there were some problems with the course layout, so I brought it to his attention:
He nodded gravely, and then headed over to discuss this with the meet officials:
Goldy raised the matter with them:
There was some confusion...
This ended badly, with the Gopher being thrown out of the event:
I am, of course, deeply troubled about the whole thing, especially given Goldy's unfortunate history with St. Thomas professors.
Sorry, Goldy!

I know, Desiree! Especially the way it refers to "Goldy the Gopher" as just another citizen attending the game.
As a U of M alum, I am tempted 'To Call Me Maybe' a P.I. friend to ensure the 'cross country confusion' wasn't instigated by another St. Thomas Professor, professor...
