Driving with Kleeker

With preseason XC camp drawing to a close, and with all the little things involved in preparing to host an XC meet, Friday was a day of running around here and there. A lot of running around. A lot of here and there. Several trips to the Hyde Park Stop & Shop were made. On my last trip to the grocery store tonight, who was waiting out by my van but that local legend himself, The Kleeker. He is Hyde Park's own; he's the cart guy at Stop & Shop, and all of us in town collectively take care of him. He does not drive, but he is never lacking for rides. I am one of his regular shuttle guys. To work. From work. To the Marist basketball game. From the Marist basketball game. Hey. Coach. Can you get me a coffee at Dunkin' Donuts? Sure, Kleek, sure thing. Tonight, he had a cart full of groceries, and he patiently waited for the ride he knew he would get from the old coach. He's our biggest fan, and we were happy to oblige.
