Today’s ride: 52.73 miles, south into the wilds of Palos Verdes, on a beautiful Southern California summer day. What? It’s not summer? Tell that to my sunburn. That PV ride is packed with long rolling hills that can really hurt you, especially if you did 50 miles the previous day, but the weather was so exceptional that stopping would have hurt more.

Tell that to my legs, who are calling me worse names tonight than Glenn Greenwald.

 Frank says:

The family was from Arkansas. The Dad (Dink) was a furniture salesman in San Bernardino, but back in the way-back-when he used to play 'bones' or 'spoons' in a minstrel show. To relive the golden days of yesteryear he would, from time to time, force his children to accompany him (Ronnie on guitar, Kenny on trombone) in a living room replay of a minstrel routine called "Lazy Bones."

The kids often found this to be an inconvenience, as they were fascinated by, and constantly perfecting new techniques for, The Manly Art Of Fart-Burning. Kenny explained to me that it was scientific - that it demonstrated (this is a real quote) "Compression, ignition, combustion and exhaust." -- Kenny & Ronnie Williams (later immortalized in "Let's Make The Water Turn Black").
