As one gets older, one identifies with Walter Mitty more and more.
The Gloria Steinem post got me thinking. Every so often, I get to whip out an episode from my past in conversations. I listen to myself, and know that few believe my contentions. I’m more hesitant to do it than ever; my whitening hair and advancing wrinkles just add to the patronization. Every so often, it’s fun to insert some proofs. From left to right … myself (with straw hat), Al Unser, Sir Stirling Moss, and Bob Bondurant. This was the year before I started professionally covering the Santa Fe Concorso car show (2011). I took many photos of these three over the years, but never with myself included. I even worked with Sir Stirling directly to try to republish his “All But My Life” book. Using this photo here to test a feature on my reconstructed blog.
