JJE Yost 47951

Filed under: Yost tribute — Max Bliss @ 10:57 pm

John and I used to joke that if I sent a letter to him at John Yost Kentland Indiana it would get delivered.

When I was in college in Bloomington, IN, I sent a letter to J Yost 47951 and he got it.

I listened to a new Norah Jones cut tonight. I am convinced she is the new messiah.

putting in my will that she must sing at my funeral

and David Bowie

and Tom Waite

Chalk Yostie

This weekend we journey to the Oregon coast to bestow Yostie on the Pacific Ocean. Via kite and balloon.

While attending a bachelor/bachelorette party for my older son and his new partner and their closest friends at a beachside condo on the Oregon coast with hot tub and sustained kite flying winds.

I will serve Whiskey Sours with maraschino cherries, Ponka style in a short glass filled with ice.

We will dine on oysters and crab.

Tomorrow, I will shut down my computer and go meat world so that we can fly kites over the Pacific.

I printed your photo of the Yost home, Nick’s Pub, George Ade, and us, my fellow perpetrators, to show them.

The perpetrators

I was relieved to see that it is not just me who became a waist size 52 upon reaching age 60 after being rather slim for most of my life.

I will post here after we get back from the coast. This trip, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, will be the longest I have not been connected to the Internet in more than a year.
