Day 188 CJSM

Day 188

 

 

As young kids, summer lunches at noon, watching

Lassie on the 12” black and white TV in the kitchen,

then waiting ½ hour before swimming

 

 

“Old wives tales”!? Such dribble. I never have accepted “prevailing” wisdom.

 Many times, I ate and immediately went swimming---and, to date…have never drowned!

 But, the kids had to wait a half hour after eating lunch before pool-time.

 I often wonder if the genius people who concocted these “irrelevancies” ever swam. Hmm!

 Anyway, just a slight annoyance, I reckon. I disrespected the advice; the kids had to abide.

 We managed to survive my penchant to trivialize “sage” advice; sometimes I am even tempted to just confess my rebel, rascal, rogue, recalcitrant nature for the sake of Individualism!

 How did I manage to reach this lofty plateau (?????). Hmm!? Even I wonder! Lucky! I guess!

 Sure have enjoyed the adventure with myriad “wild” events---all day…every day!

 

“Damn! The torpedoes! Full speed ahead!”

 

Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Just do it!” Memories!
