Naked Dick

I SAW DICK BERRY NAKED!

No, my eyes weren't burned out of my head, neither did the earth stand still but - and there's always that big but - once I got past the shock I was actually kind of glad it happened.

The encounter was entirely accidental. I stopped to see my infirm sister Toot and, not finding her in the regular position watching WebTV in the den, I called out a theatrical, "Hello," and started back to the bedroom seeking her out.

Usually Dick Berry isn't even HOME at the hour of 10:00AM since that is prime walk-time for him either in the hood or at the beach.

However, he heard my "Hello" and interpreted it as "Help", flung open the bathroom door and just as I hit the hallway there he was in his altogether!!

LOL.

He was expecting to see a collapsed Toot and instead found a wide-eyed ME!?

Too funny.

I turned heel and scooted to the bedroom with a weak, "Oh, hi Dick..." while he stepped quickly backwards shutting the door and saying, "Well, hello, Judith."

In truth, I wasn't as upset as I probably should have been because Dick Berry naked looked nearly identical to Tom Tuschak naked!! Seeing his body brought back a flood of remembrances, all good.

I apologized, of course, but only half-heartedly.

Dick? Thanks for the memories.
