There were two ways to crumble the cookie, the river or the steepest of mountain paths.

They gave me a stiff drink, patted me hard on the back and mentioned victory.

The ice had melted, but the steely glances suggested either they did not respect me or all strangers were suspect.

Two days later we were the best of friends.

I’ll take the lion’s share of everything and give it back to you so we can get on with this conversation.

Undistracted.

Best party I ever attended.

Everything I dreamed about came true.

Yes, and that!

And more.

So next time better to arrive, unticketed, unannounced and unplanned.

Just a smile and a warm heart.

Tracing a bowl and an antelope onto fine paper, we felt like we could fill the galleries of the world.

Then we opened a gallery.

The world applauded, or the press did.

Then we helped children draw, have the time, learn the skills, how to enjoy it all.

Then we wrote the introduction.

Bet this is news to you.

Dry and extruded from the spaghetti plant.

Sent home by a romantic poem, the two fell headlong down a slide into the swimming pool, then they grabbed towels, grabbed bags and left in the boat-tailed sports sedan.

Artificial Intelligence and a malt scotch later, we all sang songs and were abetted to excellence.

We saw the elders using slide rules and an abacus, while we selected the Nirvana Network.

Shades of a new blend and vibrant appeal led more to join us.

Declining the offer they chewed tobacco for the first and last time.

Still, there was a house to purchase, a car to chase and a real estate agent to befriend.

Fresian herds and ranch land blended with the stills, molding machines and breakfast eateries.

We shall invite you to everything, get ready to savor it all.
