MeMe3: Please let your grandmother know that you have told Avalon you will not be taking a lesson Friday. Invisible Dad

OK. As promised. An adventure. Follow the links. Or, should I say Lynx?!
Today I went to Sunday School for grown-ups. A woman was there talking to another fellow. I smiled and nodded as I slowly but surely got the jist of their conversation. She had recently been on an obstacle course that included at least six zip lines. It was in Sanford, just north of Orlando, outside the front gate of the Central Florida Zoo. The obsticle course is called, appropriately, ZOOm Air Adventures. So, anyway, I thought of you. And your bud. And the Central Florida Regional Transit Authority. That’s right – Lynx – the local bus! You can take it all the way to Sanford. Just you and Mattie. A Run-A-Way Holiday. Now, I’m not suggesting you run off without telling everyone who needs to know – it’s always best, on any adventure, that someone at home know all your plans. But, I was thinking, if you got the OK from Jen and Marie, maybe the two of you could launch off with your bikes on the bus to Sanford for the ZOOm adventure. You know, before school. It’s probably just an OK kind of adventure. But, you know, going off with your bud, together, to do something a bit scary like taking a bus to Sanford to a strange theme park where once false move might lead to a broken bone miles away from anyone else who loves you. That is my kind of cool.

Jen: On my way to Sunday school this morning after an 8:30 feeding of the chicks I spotted something very interesting sitting by the curb in front of the house of one of parents’ wealthy neighbors. I thought, “Hmmm. If it’s there when I get home … ” And it was. So, I knocked on the door of the home owner, and who should appear? Churchill! “David, good morning! What brings you here?” “That!” I said pointing to the curb in front of her house. “It’s yours,” she said, “and it works!”
So, MeMe2, it is all about you.
Next week someone may be grilling on a brand-new-second-hand Weber Genesis Jr.

Oh you, you, you…you did it! It may not be the reaction you wanted…but you did it…you made me laugh…at myself! I feel like a dolt…but a dolt that’s laughing…thanks for bringing me out of my(self) funk just a little. Off to birdland. Later. Jen

David: Once has been renewed for you…it is due on July 8. JT
