The Sea Forever

   I think I’ll do the pleasure and bring you along for the ride.  But first, make sure you are ready, emotionally and physically, for the story.  This is very intimate, symbolic, and the best is yet to come.  Hopefully this will spark your memory of us when things seemed out of place but perfect.  Here is how it all started.
    I wouldn’t say we met at a bar but it didn’t make the moment any more different.  I guess we actually met--you would tell me farther down our relationship road--a long time before this bar encounter.  You saw me at a Philly’s game when I was in 5th grade and you were in 7th.  I never asked how you remembered this, or how you knew that my face was the one that you stared at, how you could trace back the lines of maturity to our roots.  But when we finally met on equal terms, at that defunct bar in lower west Philadelphia, is a memory we can both say we had.

    Ned’s only son, Kale, just got caught cheating again by his chemistry teacher.  He tried to blame it on his lazy eyes but he just dug himself deeper into his mistake because he didn’t have a lazy eye and another classmate, Charles, does and the teacher, Mr. Stale, wants to talk about Kales’s de-sensitized nature in a parent teacher conference.
