My Olympic Moment

You have to train your mind like you train your body. – Bruce Jenner

Before and During
Spent a day with Bruce Jenner
Bruce Jenner rode in my car.

back when he still looked like Bruce Jenner.

But had seen him years earlier.
 
At the 1976 USA Olympic Trials in Eugene.
 
I was high
 

in the West Stands and he might

have set a world record

and I look off to the field nearby

see Bruce Jenner running, always

trying to get better.

Trying to become

the best.

Now he is trying to look

like a pretty Bette Midler.

Received today my copy of Vanity Fair

The “Call Me Caitlyn” issue,

shrink-wrapped in plastic and  I am wondering

should I leave it unopened

so one of my grandchildren

can make a bundle on Ebay someday.

I was driving a big BMW

and Bruce said

my car was better than his.
