JUST PASSIN' THROUGH

During my 9th grade summer, everytime the Raspberries "Go All the Way" came on the Radio, I would walk down the street to Cathy Cavenders house in hopes she would be outside.
If she had been, I don't know exactly what I might have done but I sensed there was an opportunity there.
She never was, so I would go back to my house and wait another hour for the DJ, Mark E. Baby to play 'Go All the Way" again and I would hike back down to Cathy's and lurk for a while.
I did that all summer long.
It averaged about 108 degrees in the shade down here that summer and I never once saw Cathy. I was lucky not to get sunstroke.

It was that fall, when we started High School that I found out Cathy and her family had moved to Pheonix at the start of the summer.

I like to think that was the summer I lost my shyness, because I was never afraid to go on up and knock on the door after that.
Still, I hate that song.

Thanks UF Mike, for this memory.
