Ridecamp: Re: [RC] THE Howard Stories' Cycle

Well Karen, it like all cycles of nature. The harmony, the ebb and flow, 
the rise of the crescendo followed by the thump of the crash. We need to 
keep Howard. Some don't like Howard because Howard speaks a child's like 
truth. Many didn't like his story on Dance Line's crash because it 
reminded us of what can happen - to any of us. And I've got to believe 
that some don't like Howards rambling about religion, ethnicity,  
terrorism etc. because it may cut to close to home on the way they feel 
but don't want to admit. We try to be apolitical but Howard keeps 
reminding us we don't live in apolitical times - that luxury went away 
on 911.

Finally - like it or not - Howard represents the best of  family values 
in this sport. A couple with their early teen daughter (who some might 
find to be amazing that she is a very bright, polite and considerate 
kid) coming out to rides and riding together as a family.

What do we do with Howard. Well it seems the cycle is about one year. So 
I guess we just have Steph slap him around once a year at about the same 
time with the stern warning "if you don't clean up your act, I'm going 
to come back to FL next winter and beat the living **** out of you."

That should work.
