"He wanted to go somewhere warmer and so he headed south"

"A Denver Broncos fan who vanished during last week's game only to be found five days later 90 miles away told police he left because he was sick of the game — and he even ditched his team cap."
Paul Kitterman, 53, "had his fill of football and decided to take a walk" in the middle of Thursday's game against the San Diego Chargers, said police in Pueblo, Colorado, where he was eventually found.

He "even mentioned disposing of his Broncos hat as he did not want to be recognized," police said.

In the meantime, Kitterman's mystified family filed a police report about his disappearance, noting that he did not have a cellphone or credit cards with him.

The missing man finally turned up unharmed on Tuesday evening.

Last time someone ditched me after 4 or 5 beers it was because he met a girl and stood a good chance of getting laid.

That was a good, long while ago.

It turned out that I only had a two mile walk to the railway station.

Not a problem, really.

Like the groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, he came out of the closet, looked around at the landscape for a few days and went back in to sleep it off. NTTIAWWT.

The premise of a great read by Larry McMurtry, Duane's Depressed, is that Duane, about this guy's age, gets fed up with driving everywhere one day and scandalizes his fellow small town Texans by walking instead. Including walking to the nearest good sized town, that is about 25 miles away, 50 miles roundtrip. Of course as the book progresses Duane wises up and starts riding a bike.

I blame it on Payton Manning.

Not as good as his kid brother.

He should hang it up already.
