>Okay, I gotta brag just a tad.
> You folks who were into the Olympics should recognize the name Misty
>Hyman. Misty won a gold medal this year when she broke a 20-year Olympic
>world record (as well as her own record) in the Butterfly. Misty is also a
>graduate of Shadow Mountain High School, which is about 4 blocks from my home.
> Since my wife is the head coach for Shadow Mtn's cheer squad and all 3 of
>my daughters graduated from there, I do a lot of sound & lighting work there
>for a reduced fee (I own a DJ company).
> This year, Misty was the Parade Marshall for Shadow Mtn's homecoming
>parade, and was a special guest at the pre-game assembly in the gymnasium.
>While I was doing a last-minute tech run-thru for the assembly, I noticed the
>principal and the Student Gov't advisor trying to fit a Miata through the
>doors to no avail. Seems they wanted to drive Misty into the gym through the
>smoke and strobe lights, but the BMW Z3 they had lined up was just a hair too
>wide and the Miata wasn't faring any better. Of course, I couldn't help but
>suggest that Hobbs, my 1977 Spitfire, ought to be a good 2-3 inches skinnier
>than contemporary convertibles. As an added bonus, Hobbs is royal blue,
>which is one of Shadow Mtn's school colors.
> The rest fell into place perfectly: Hobbs slid thru the door like a
>greased pig, the students thought the car was sweet, and Misty turned out to
>be just as humble and genuine as she was before she made world news. And
>because it was my car, the principal insisted that I take the wheel. So as
>the TV cameras rolled, the monza exhaust roared and 2000 students went
>completely bananas, Hobbs and I made history in our own little way.
> Gotta love it!
