| It's true. We've been talking.I was
| |
| | don't have to ask an old river rat like
|
| heading out for a bike ride the other day
| |
| | me twice. Heck yeah! Let's go!So, we went
|
| and since you were busy watching TV, or
| |
| | to the river, sat on a log and started to
|
| maybe you were shopping or working late,
| |
| | wonder at the crazy little paw prints
|
| or waxing the Hummer, or programming your
| |
| | along the bank. Next thing you know, a
|
| Blackberry, we can't remember, your inner
| |
| | mink came and sat down on the same log,
|
| kid asked if they could come out with me
| |
| | not three feet from us! Now, he was a
|
| because they were bored and, frankly, a
| |
| | stinky little bugger, being related to
|
| little disgusted with you.I was flattered
| |
| | skunks and all, but boy was he a
|
| to be asked and looked forward to the
| |
| | cutey."Hey, what's with the invisible
|
| company since I had heard that you used
| |
| | kid?""Refugee. Body's over at TJ Maxx or
|
| to be a lot of fun, so we set off for an
| |
| | something.""Whoa. Bummer, dude." The mink
|
| adventure. We rode...and rode...and rode.
| |
| | said to your inner peewee."Tell me about
|
| We rode past meadows, and streams, and a
| |
| | it."And we just sat for a while, watching
|
| field full of cows, three coyote, two fox
| |
| | the sunlight play over the water."Want to
|
| snakes, a family of painted turtles
| |
| | swim?" said the mink."Nah, maybe next
|
| sitting on a log and finally under the
| |
| | time. Probably should head back. This kid
|
| mulberry trees, where we stopped for a
| |
| | is the only chance left for that poor
|
| quick sample. We agreed that being tall
| |
| | body. If we don't get back, they are
|
| enough to pick the berries right off the
| |
| | liable to die right at their desk over a
|
| trees was so much better than picking the
| |
| | pile of reports and e-mails and other
|
| mushy ones off the sidewalk like we did
| |
| | Matters of Consequence. That stuff
|
| when we were kids.That got us to
| |
| | happens. Happened right where I used to
|
| reminiscing about the alley by the trees
| |
| | work. Lady just died at her desk one
|
| and the way we would wait for kids to
| |
| | day.""Okay. Good luck to ya, kid. Sounds
|
| ride by on their bikes over the gravel.
| |
| | like you've got your work cut out for
|
| The "rich" kids on the block always had
| |
| | you."As I dropped your spirited half off,
|
| money and coins would inevitably vibrate
| |
| | I echoed the mink's sentiments. "Good
|
| their way out of everyone's pockets when
| |
| | luck. Take care of yourself. Don't give
|
| they hit certain rough stretches in the
| |
| | up.""Thanks. I'll need all the luck I can
|
| alley. We'd busy ourselves catching
| |
| | get. I don't even think they realize I
|
| lizards, pretending not to notice, all
| |
| | checked out. Maybe if I can get them to
|
| the while listening for the telltale
| |
| | notice the sunset tonight, or the
|
| jingle. Oh, yeah! We are heading to Ono's
| |
| | fireflies. But I worry that it's too
|
| for some penny candy! There will be Zots
| |
| | late. There was a quarter, a quarter, on
|
| and candy lipstick in the clubhouse
| |
| | the sidewalk the other day and they
|
| tonight!And we cracked up over the time I
| |
| | didn't even see it! Heads up even! I mean
|
| got grounded for a MONTH when I was young
| |
| | that is like so totally lucky. And forget
|
| because I went off to the sand dunes at
| |
| | even going up on the roof to look up at
|
| the end of my street by myself and my mom
| |
| | the stars like you do, Bugs. I mean,
|
| didn't think that was safe. A MONTH. And
| |
| | climbing up on the roof? No way would
|
| EVERY day stuck. And then, my FIRST day
| |
| | they even consider it."I walked away and
|
| of freedom, I was busted again (can't
| |
| | prayed the kid was wrong.Need help moving
|
| remember why) and grounded for another
| |
| | from insight to integration and
|
| week.And then there was the time that my
| |
| | implementation of these concepts? Laura
|
| dad (a heating and air conditioning
| |
| | Young, M.A. is a life and business coach
|
| wholesaler) nailed my bedroom window shut
| |
| | and owner of Wellspring Coaching.
|
| because I always opened my window just a
| |
| | Laura specializes in working with
|
| couple inches so I could have fresh air
| |
| | individuals negotiating midlife
|
| on me while I slept. Okay, sure it was
