Gumby Loves a Cold Plunge

Ah! Cold – snow – ice! These are things that Gumby loves. Originally, Gumby came from the small village of Muodoslompolo, in the northeast corner of Sweden. People from here have the unique characteristic of being green instead of blond. And there’s nothing like a refreshing cold ice bath to wake you up in the morning. Gumby misses his Swedish home (but is happy with his adopted home – Kansas City).

A New Beginning

Gumby’s chronicles begin TODAY! Today Gumby offered his own resignation (see signed General Release Agreement) in a show of solidarity for Steve being laid-off. Courage like this has not been seen since Lech Wałęsa of Poland during the 1980s. His first non-communist trade union in a communist country, Solidarity, created a ground swell of social movement. It remains to be seen if the “Gumbys” of the world will united to reverse the crumbling U.S. economy – only time will tell. In the meantime, Gumby walks the talk: “Steve no work, Gumby no work!” My goodness - that’s a mark of a true leader!!
