What with one thing and the other — one thing being the near-death of my two-year-old Apple iBook (the hard drive crapped out), the other a voluntarily embarked upon near-death experience on my bicycle over the weekend (the Bay in a Day double century, held during a triple-digit heat spell) — I haven’t done much in the way of sitting down to post in the last few days. But I’ll make amends, as early as later this evening.
Until that time …
“Until that time”? Soldier in the Rain, right?
To be honest, I can’t remember the source exactly. But I remember saying it and writing it, in a journal and to sign off on letters, back in the ’70s. But now that you say “Soldier in the Rain” — wasn’t that with Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen? I can hear the Gleason character saying it — whether he did (or even existed) or not.
