Reading for January 3, 2010
Roberta's freshly washed hair glistens in the sunlight..........
my brother, Jerry, runs into our two-story brick building and fractures his skull..........the kids across the street team up against me and a couple buddies, as idiotic as I, to throw rocks at each other........some older guy in the apartment opposite ours on the side street refuses to come down to where the largest human being I have ever seen is waving a large piece of metal, and shouting about damage to his car.............Freddy gets a cool new car sporting taillights in huge fins...........
wax blobs darken and become a permanent part of the sidewalk as we kids spit out the resinous matter that held sugar water posing as candy.......my parents make the decision that I am old enough for an expensive wristwatch which is given to me for Christmas, and which I don proudly, flash to the gang engaged in an all out street snowball fight, and lose it, as it flies off my wrist into white oblivion......
my brother Bob buys his first diamond needle for the prized Webcor phonograph.
Join Captain Flip Side in his true life adventures every Sunday!
Happy daze,
The Captain
