Grin and Bear
Okay, so today (weirdest thing), I'm downtown in Winter Park with Windy spending our Valentine's Day together, when all of a sudden we see a bear. We were kind of freaked out by it at first, seeing as how we were just looking at shops in a public place. Who expects to stumble across bears in the city, anyway? Not us.
So there we were, face to face with a ferocious bear when I get the crazy idea to be friendly to it and treat it like anyone else I am threatened by. So I waved. That's all. Just a simple wave, just to say "hey Mr. Bear, I'm on your side." And what would you know, he waved back.
May this be a lesson to everyone out there to be indiscriminate. While someone may look like a man-eating bear (in a Hawaiian shirt, no less), they may in fact be a cordial person looking for a smile and a friendly gesture.
Incidentally, his name isn't Mr. Bear. It's Jim.

i'm showing off my sexy legs, which means it got a lot warmer since my last entry.
i guess he is like a walmart greeter in that he is threatening.
jeff, you idiot. while you were busy making friends with that harmless creature of nature, you failed to even notice that it was clearly bait from the deadly and horific yellow open flag, which was keeping the bear chained up in a manner not unlike jabba had leia. you could have gotten yourself killed. especially showing off those legs. you've just got to be more careful.
and the title was a bit of a stretch.
I agree with Glen. No one is grinning. And I refuse to assume that you were grinning, Jeff, since you are typically so melancholy and morose.
And by the way, this post sets a horrible example for any children who may be reading your blog. When approached by a bear, one is supposed to lie down and play dead, not wave and flash his sexy legs. I'm holding you personally responsible for any future bear-related deaths within the continental United States.
And Glen, this would look perfect over your fireplace.
strauch! great to hear from you man. i hope all is well. and i agree with your agreement with me. and i agree with your assessment of the saftey of our children. jeff, won't somebody think of the children? oh yeah, strauch did. well i'm glad to get that out of the way. as for my fireplace, it's getting a bit full, but i think i like that. let's go with it. and have i mentioned i love march? i love march! so exciting.
