Ten.One Thousand, Six Hundred & Eleven

1. We should have won that game.

2. Toilets first.

3. I make a cappuccino and then another. Thick foam from the whole milk. A little sprinkle of sugar.

4. What is my role in this?

5. I make a shart right down an aisle and then wonder if I am being immature.

6. But this is only the first time. Maybe not the last.

7. There’s a chill in the air reminding us that winter is on its way. The sound of the softballs smacking their gloves. The soft astroturf pressed against my knees.

8. Reminders that life isn’t fair. Oh, to be a pre-teen.

9. Steak and scallops and potatoes and green beans and 2010 Salvatore Molettieri Taurasi Vigna Cinque Querce and 2018 Spottswoode Cabernet.

10. Crepes!

11. “I told you I liked them.”

12. The rain has started and you can see your breath in the air and the sky is pitch black.
