I remember when I was about six or seven in the summertime in Maine. I was
on a family vacation with my reluctant father and my weird but cute mother and
my grandparents who owned a silver bullet, one of those old style camping trailers,
We were at a campground the air was cool and crisp, it never gets too warm in Maine.
I was swimming in a pond chasing goldfish around small pond grass. I looked down
and saw a leach on me -
- I don't remember ALL the characters from the movie, "Stand By Me"
one made me remember my older brother, his attitude, style of doings things, or
maybe just his turtle shell patterned glasses. -
- I rememeber my brother and I, along with a few friends stole a trail map
and hiked up a mountain blindly to where we thought would be a pond. -
- I forget how much losing a dog, your childhood friend, hurts.
