24-Sep-2003

Just today, I was taking Line 22 to downtown Palo Alto and was telling some friends about Wyatt's bull 'Sonny' and his black dog 'Mort'. I can still hear Wyatt calling out "MORT!". I was telling them about one day when Wyatt let me feed Sonny some corn in a 5 gallon bucket. Sonny was a little bit cautious of me at first, but finally stuck his head in the bucket while keeping his big eyes on me. I guess I must have spooked Sonny as I backed away, cause he jumped a couple feet in the air. Not too bad for such a large animal. ;-)

Wyatt, you are sorely missed.
