Pooh Gone Corporate

My boss came by to ask if I had a band-aid. A nasty paper cut on this thumb. A sign that his executive assistance went home early. “Indeed”, I said. “But you’re not going to use it.” “Why not?” “Because it’s this.” His expression is of a full smile, suppressing a chuckle. “Can I at least pick which one?” He went with the one of Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet dancing in circle. “Thanks, Oakley.

After Cheech left USC, I haven’t gone back to walk again because it felt awkward...
