Hi Folks!

I was going to write another consolidated message, but then I had a Grooism 
episode that I had to pass on.  I may get to the other message, but you know 
how it goes: So many pointless messages to write, so little time.

Anyway, very occasionally I buy a big stack of Groo comics for cheap on ebay 
because my local comic shop will always buy them because he says he can 
always sell them. Yesterday I got the notice to pick them up at the post 
office, so today I hopped on my bicycle during lunch hour to cycle the 5 
miles or so over to the P.O.  When I came out with all my Groos in tow, my 
back tire was, of course, flat.  I guess I should ahve had my Rufferto 
magnet with me as an anti-Groo effect talisman.  But that's not the real 
Grooism.  That came later.

Fortunately, to paraphrase a line from the Princess Bride, my tire was only 
mostly flat, not completely flat, so I slowly limped back to my office on 
the bicycle. (It was still a little faster than walking)   Not content to 
leave bad enough alone, I stopped at a gas station to see if the mostly flat 
tire would hold air at least long enough to get me back to work.  But being 
a complete Groo-Brain, I put too much air in and "POP!!!"  Now the tire was 
completely dead.

I continued on, Grooishly riding the bicycle, even slower now, before 
finally getting back to work, very late of course.  One of the advantages of 
having a 20 year old, 28 lb., steel everything bicycle is that you can abuse 
the heck out of it without doing any real damage.  It's the perfect bicycle 
for a Groo fan.  Or at least this Groo fan.

I hope everyone's day went better than mine.  What day is it anyway?  I 
remember getting all excited about the New Groo Pre-Announcement and then 
everything is a blur for a while.  Hmmm.

Anywho, take care all -Gary G.
