    And Clemson is a bit out of my quick run during lunch range.
    I am (was) more worried about getting kicked out of the football complex and not getting to go to the game.

    In the summer of 1971, fresh off my Duke graduation, I tended bar at a resort in Minnesota (Brainerd, hello Fargo!) and unfortunately my very best customer for two weeks was a constantly inebriated Gordon Lightfoot...I tried to get him to dial it back (he was a pleasant but morose drunk) but no dice on that.

    Yet, he is now 83 and released his latest studio album just two years ago. Mr. Lightfoot himself seems to be pretty well-seasoned.

    that was the year I had 13 jobs in nine or ten months...some real beauts, like parking cars at the Iowa State Fair (one day), assistant manager at the Suit Outlet in Chapel Hill (where my boss invited me to a Klan meeting...)

    Nice. Man after my own heart. Going back to high school, I’ve held something like 25 jobs, from changing spikes and cleaning bathrooms at a golf course to some very high profile companies.

    The irony of the 13 jobs was that I was taking a year of leisure before entering Miami Law School. So I go down to Miami in August of 1972 and I find that I hate the town, was unimpressed with the school, and wondered what I was doing there. Three weeks late I embarked for the Green Mountain State...

    (I worked at a golf course one summer, cleaning shoes, bathrooms, clubs, but not during the Year of 13 Jobs.) Loved playing with the golf carts when the manager was gone.
