THE HSR, IN THIS CURRENT PREFACE, IS JUST
7 YEARS OLD, AND HE IS AT THE PARK WITH HIS FAVORITE KITE, WITH 2 MILES OF PREMIUM-STRENGTH
KITE STRING, WHICH MEANS THAT HE’S GOING TO DO SOME SERIOUS KITING TODAY, AND
THERE’S ENOUGH WIND COMING AT HIS BACK TO KEEP IT AFLOAT FOR A LONG WHILE, SO
TO GET THE KITE INTO THE AIR, HSR DOES WHAT HIS GRANDDADDY TAUGHT HIM TO DO,
WHICH IS TO PLACE THE KITE ON THE GROUND FACE DOWN, WITH THE TOP OF THE KITE
POINTING TOWARD HIM, THEN UNROLL THE STRING ABOUT TWENTY FEET AWAY, BEING
CAREFUL TO NOT FLY AROUND ANY POWERLINES, THEN TAKE OFF RUNNING, PULLING ON THE
KITE ALL THE WHILE, AND, NOW, THE KITE TAKES OFF AND WIGGLES IN THE AIR LIKE IT
IS TAKING A DEEP BREATH AND WAKING UP TO SOME FRESH FUN,
AND HSR LETS OUT A LOT OF STRING, WHICH MAKES THE KITE GO DOWN SOME, BUT AS SOON AS THE STRING IS TAUT AGAIN, IT MUSCLES ITS WAY BACK HIGHER INTO THE AIR, AND AFTER LETTING ABOUT A MILE OF STRING OUT, THE HSR CAN BARELY SEE THE KITE, SO, AFTER A WHILE, THE HSR STARTS TO FEEL THE WIND GET STRONGER TO HIS BACK, SO MUCH SO, THAT THE KITE PULLS HIM ALONG THE GROUND, AND THE WIND GETS EVEN MORE STRONG, WHICH MAKES THE YOUNG HSR LIFT UP OFF OF THE GROUD, AND HE AND THE KITE GO HIGHER AND HIGHER
INTO THE SKY AND EVEN INTO THE CLOUDS, BUT HSR IS NOT SCARED ONE BIT, BECAUSE HE HAS THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO PULL OUT HIS…hip-hip hooray ,Mr. Blogger…now you’ve got high-flying kites pulling kids up into the clouds, and I must say that I want to read what you cook up next, because that lady seated over there looking at me, and her “I am, right now, seeing an outline of a gentleman with a top hat in the tall white clouds…and that’s a good thing!” smile seems to alert me that she maybe an undercover spy with questionable intentions…but you never know!

“As soon as I leave a high-priced
restaurant that serves gourmet meals with only a small amount of “work-of-art,”
decorated food on the plate, I tell myself…fridge, here I come!”
Have you ever detected, or rather,
“busted” someone with ordorful breath?
They may have something interesting or
funny to say…
…but that “aromatic wall of stench”
blocks any comprehension of what they are trying to get across…
…and this source of bad gas has you
plotting to “exit stage left or right” immediately to breathe in desperately
needed, fresh, unadulterated air?...
And if they get close up on you, to
whisper to you a secret with their arm almost around you…
…hold your breath and diplomatically break
free!...you can do it!
But the big question is…do you do
anything to help them put out that fire in their mouth?
A word of advice: prophylactically carry
around breath mints or a spray…for yourself to use…
…and to offer to a needy friend with TUI
And remember…
…as they say…
…"don’t judge, lest ye be judged!..
So, let’s help each other out!
…it could happen to any of us!
…so if you think that you may have a TUI
moment yourself…
…do a get-fresh-quick routine to your
mouth…
May you have many…be careful about where
you go in, because you may want to get out of there—in a hurry!....sleep and
fun must somehow be related!...quick—hurry up and write down that
imaginative thought!… smiles!
