Long live the King...

   I was in Portland on Friday and got an e mail from my friend Ben that said "RIP Evel".  Oddly enough, Ben lives in Portland, but didn't know that I was there (typical of me, I suppose).  I called him right up and confirmed the bad news.   Ben and I hung out that night for a bit and toasted to the King.  Evel lived 40 years longer than he should have.  He was the toughest motherfucker ever.  To me, he was an inspiration and an idol.   The obsession of a young boy that led to the lifelong obsession with riding bikes and jumping them through the air.   I could go on and on but I won't.  I'm sad, but Evel Knievel will live forever in my heart.
