. Forgive Me Ben! ..............

. I Was Weak



Is there no loyalty left in the world?
Here's the deal: Loyalty goes both ways. I've seen the pictures of Ben hugging up to every man, woman, child, and domestic animal — all over the the world, no less. Is what is good for the goose not good for the gander?


INCIDENT REPORT................................DATE:12/15/00

Setting: Fasttrack Riders monthly session at Willow Springs (Rosamond, California).
Decision: Touch Anthony Gobert.
Approach Query: "Hi Anthony. Can I have my picture taken with you?"
Response: "Sure."
Instructions: "Great. NOW PRETEND YOU'RE MY BOYFRIEND!"
Action: I proceed to drape my body against his.
Reaction: Uncertainty on Gobert's part, but he does concede to the fact that he will have to touch me (note how he's about to pull a muscle leaning away from me).
Output: Pleasant photo is captured.
Follow-Up Action: I show a preview of the picture to Anthony and tell him, "Look, we're in love...you just don't know it yet!"
Follow-Up Reaction: Anthony chuckles and glances around awkwardly.
Professional Stalker Knowledge: There are no security people at Willow Springs. Every racer who goes there is subject to sexual harrassment.

I am sorry, Ben. He is a racer, he has dark hair, he is fast. He is not you, but you are like a sailor at sea, gone for months at a time. I'm getting older; each day a new strand of gray hair appears and I realize what is left for me is a future bereft of attention from a world-class racer. Come back to So Cal and put me back on track.

(And if anybody thinks that I'm just another floozy with a passing fascination for anything that walks in leather, check out this show of true devotion.)
