First Year (part 2)



If you want me to summarize part one of this trip, go back and read it.
6 dragged his butt out of bed, not to the sounds of silence, or even to birds singing in the background, but to the sound of hair dryer running. 6 woke up fell out of bed, dragged a comb cross his head, (notice 6 did not say he was combing his hair, he was actually scratching his head), found his way downstairs to grab a cup of de-calf, looking up 6 noticed that no one had yet started to pack, found the bread and grabbed the PBJ, made the samichches in seconds flat, found my way outside to grab a smoke, someone spoke and 6 went into a dream. I saw the hall way today oh boy, four thousand bags of cloths to stuff in the old truckster, and although the bags were rather small, 6 had to pack them all, now we know how many bags it takes to fill the truckster.  6 would love to fly there next year. I read the news today oh boy, about a lucky family who fit 10 tons of junk into a truckster, although the family was rather squished, well 6 just had to laugh because 6 had plenty room. 6 saw a long line of traffic, he blew his stack, he did not notice that it was Saturday morning and everyone from Washington DC north was headed to the beach, the crowd of people in the car just sat there and stared, they’d seen this situation before, nobody was really sure if 6 was going to flip out again or not. There was a wise person in the crowd, she made 6 stop for gas, because he was on “E”, she ran across the street and bought 6 a whopper and fries, and all of a sudden all was well. 6 saw a film today oh boy, the truckester finally pulled into Newton farms, the crowds of people just turned away, but 6 just had to shout for joy, having finally made it to paradise.
When 6 was just a little boy, he expected the world, but it flew away from his reach, so when 6 made it to the condo he had to run down to the beach and mingled with the other dreamers of paradise. Life went on, it got so hot, the weight of his body breaks the chair, open a bottle of Rex the beach patrol came, but 6 closed his eyes and dreamed of paradise. It was now time to unpack the 4 thousand bags and make the inaugural spaghetti dinner. It was like walking thru the clouds, with a circus mind, that was running amuck, hyenas and spiders and gators, and fairy tales, that is all there was to think about, riding the waves, what else could there be, but the little wings of the gray Herron’s.  As we finished the gormet dinner, the sun fell below the horizon, the temperature fell, as the bottles of Rex pilled to the ceiling. I then heard them calling in the distance, so I packed my things and ran, far away from the comfort of the condo, 6 ran back to the beach with nothing but his shadow, as 6 passed thru the parking lot some had Bentley’s, some had beamers, it made 6 wonder about their sanity, as 6 looked around he began to notice that we were nothing like the rest, it was time to go back to the condo and sleep until the sun comes up ( or was that down)! . A new day dawned, fresh air, time square, time to visit the Holy Spirit and the pig. Preparing for the journey was a snap, for the condo arraignments were quite different back in the day, the boys had one condo and the girls the other, so 6, 6A, 7 and 8 stayed in one, and the rest in the other.  We loaded up and headed of the Holy Spirit, as we arrived the lot was full of cars that made the truckster, look like it did not belong, but that did not stop 6 from finding a parking space between a Benz and Lexus, right up front. We entered the majestic cathedral filled with the faithful dressed to the 9’s, in attire that made them look like they were on the runway at Sac’s 5th avenue. What a sight, mass was soon over and it was time to get some grub at the pig, so off we went. To be continued.. 

Words of wisdom: The past is nothing but memories, but the future, is formed from the past.
