an hour in the life of Goldy Gopher

between the hours of 12:00 and 13:00 on the 8th of september, Goldy Gopher was at his best ever. this is the picture story of that hour.

Goldy enjoys long wallks on the washington avenue bridge and marching band music. here we see him with some members of the pep band. notice the wonderful converse all-stars that Goldy decided to wear today. they look exactly like mine.

it is not all play for Goldy however, he has work to do! it is funny how when some average joe is passing out flyers, everyone shrugs them off. but whoa ho ho, if Goldy is handing out paper, it is made of gold!

Goldy had some frisbees to hand out as well. great percision was demonstrated by Goldy as the frisbees were thrown to the passing public. one frisbee did get out of control however and went over the bridge into the traffic. but don't worry, Goldy stuck his big head over the wall to make sure that no accidents were caused. that frisbee may still be on washington avenue if anyone would like to pick it up.

Goldy loves pictures. and lots of people like to have their picture taken with Goldy, some people just choose to go with a high 5 or even a hug. this guy opted for the picture.

all of this work and play made Goldy pretty tired and sweaty. so Goldy took a break to get some ice cream.

before leaving, Goldy decided to make a classic Goldy pose, using the ice cream cart as the signature University of Minnesota "M."

Goldy may never have another hour as wonderful as that which was spent on this occasion. if he does, you know that you will find more details and photos of those occasions exclusively on a heart with a twist of lemon.
