Wonderful Willie Week Wildness
... would be tonight. Only invited close friends visit this special event, I was now personally invited.
After the wonderful interview flew by, I listened to a few tunes next door before making my way back to the golf club. As I listened to the tunes, two middle aged women were looking at me from across the room, whispering to each other and occasionally pointed at me. A young boy, maybe a teenager, walked up to one and I could tell by their body ...
A Scattering of Random Adventures
