On the Niangua river.

My Best Man, Gustav, arraigned an easy trip...so we thought.

Oh buddy he nailed it--on Spring Break.

Much jackassery ensued, and tolerance grew thinner and thinner.  It all broke when yours truly was hit in the head by a fist-sized chunk of ice by a Frat-Rat.  His Lady was beaned in the brain-pan by a beer can refilled with water.

Errm-herm, now the schtick begins to get kinda thick.

There are four canoes amongst the Krewe.  Two people each.  Every one schooled in armed martial combat, including pole-axe. 

The bigger folks quietly exited their canoes & readied themselves.  My skinny arse was ready to jump-board a raft of offenders.  The Missus was going "oh sh*t this is gonna be bad".

Just before Hell was unleashed, here comes the water patrol, sirens and lights blazing, and conservation agents in power-boats.  The Krewe grounded their paddles, I sat me arse down and went back to paddling.

The only people harassed weren't us.Tongue

Mowing the yard this
lovely May morning
it occurred to me 
that I had finally reached
old
fartdom.
But, 
always on the lookout
for a good metaphor
I realized 
I was consistently working in a circle.
Considering my age, the weather, the blooming Zinnias, the booming beehives
and
all those I love and who love
me,
going around in circles
all your life 
might not be
that bad
after all.

That turned out well, Col!

GB thanks for sharing that. It was beautiful.
