Guess who I hung out with today.
We walked back to the parking lost together. One whole half hour with Stephen shooting the shit.



Me and my friend Andrew. I didn't even know it was him til he said hello to me.



My favorite sign at the rally

1. That is so cool!
Were you in DC? Or was that a local protest? Either way - very very cool.

4. Looks like a lot of folks over 50
Is that accurate? If so, it's amazing that this segment of the population is taking the lead in protests.

12. He's more frail than before and walks with an interesting swagger
But his head seems to be better. I met him in Fryeburg a few years ago and he was not doing well. But we walked about a mile back to our cars so he must be feeling ok.

17. I knew the poor bastid who hit him. In and out of "the program" for years and just couldn't get it.
They found him at his house surrounded by the dogs he was trying to control while he was driving the van that hit Stephen.

19. Cool!
You look great in the second pic, graywarrior. God I envy you the sun and warmth. I don't see why Mr. King didn't offer to take me down with the family :(

21. I'll bet if you go to his foundation and ask him, he'd drive you.
He will not fly...so you'd have to spend 3 to 4 days in a pickup with him. Tabby wouldn't mind.

23. Well....
Edited on Sat Jan-27-07 09:51 PM by NewWaveChick1981
he HATES to have his picture taken and he would not allow it to be posted, even if he had one....so I can't. :( Sorry. (He's turned into a grumpy old man, and he's only 46...:rofl:) But if you see pictures from about 10-12 years ago of Stephen, that's what he looks like. But he's 6 ft. tall. :P

29. Ha ha, he's like The Mist. He just shows up in places where you least expect him.
If there's a baseball card shop near you, you'll find him in it.
