Of Poor Boys and Pilgrims

Last night, I watched the ceremony honouring Paul Simon. For those who didn't know, his songs have been added to the Library of Congress. So, I decided to use this line as the title.

Yesterday, my dad told us about a once-in-a-lifetime event at Work that day. My dad's boss started making fun of him, talking about how he barely works out. Dad replied, "Sure, I work out. But mostly my legs, because I have a shoulder problem."
"Fine. Let's arm wrestle." his boss countered. The two of them walked to the conference room, and the challenge commenced. "Kinda hard, right?" his boss asked.
"Nope." my dad smiled as he pushed his arm down.

Boy, did that make my day.

Meet You At The Swingset

Sometimes, when I have to make a tough decision, I go find a swingset.
It takes me back to the simpler times of my youth, when all I had to worry about was not being “it” in the game of Tag.
It reminds, that if I swing hard enough, and long enough, I can make it over the top, and touch the moon.
It says, “It doesn’t matter if the sun goes down. When you’re swinging, you’ll be the first to see it rise again.”
Meet you at the swingset...

I Went. Are You Proud?

I went. Finally. And I regreted each step closer to him.

As I approached, my heart started to beat louder, despite my commands for it to quiet itself.

He hadn't changed... well, maybe his voice did.

Now, I sit here wondering if it was the right thing. Should I have allowed him to once again wander in my dreams?

The Three-Some

We are a three-some. Among other things, we have 5 distinctive qualities. 1.) We are all very creative. Example? Yesterday, we stood out on the front lawn stapling angel’s wings to a piece of plywood. It was an art project. 2.) If we can help it, we don’t wear shoes. If we must, we prefer flip-flops, or crocs. Even in the dead of winter. 3.) We all eat a lot of cake, but seem to stay very thin. 4.) Our hair has a mind of its own. Years ago, we gave up trying to control it, so we let it go wherever it pleases. And, 5.) We are siblings.

I realized that we have more definitive qualities, that are equally important for you to understand what makes us a three-some.1.) We love the ocean. Seriously, we could spend all day at the beach, and not get tired of the waves. 2.) We do exceptionally well at school. For instance, at Academic Awards Night, I got six certificates, one of them for a subject that I suck at.3.) We are constant being complimented on our smiles.4.) We dress…. unconventionally. That’s it. Enough said.
