Spring Fling Festival, 12th October, 2003
With a great deal of anticipation, Ron got out of bed at 8.30am on Sunday morning, ready for the Spring Fling Festival. The high point of today was going to be the Pet Parade. Even though he actually isn't anyone's pet, he entered anyway in the Most Interesting Pet section, and knew he would win. His speech was written and then...
At the completion of a compulsory but enjoyable lecture talk and walk along the Links trail, Ron returned to the Pet Parade a full half hour before his sections' allotted time, only to find that they were FINISHED! HE WAS ONE MINUTE LATE. ONE MINUTE!!! Well, that's the story of Ron's life, really. But his only competitors were some mice, a ferret, and several dogs with the winner being a snake!
He was very disappointed and drank a beer, unwisely, to drown his sorrows. He had even planted in himself some Cos lettuce seedlings to impress the judges with his resourcefulness.
Ron, get over it.
