today is...
rain slicked grass and squeaky wipers.
sour oranges and hershey's kisses.
native americans and 49'ers.
wedgies and chapped lips.
a messy desk in a cold room.
frustration and entertainment. heavy on the frustration.
'yo, miss!" and "no engles."
not wanting to go home, nor wanting to be here.
pb&j and keebler crackers.
chicken and beer.
6th grade and stun guns.
tired and annoyed.

You and the man need to get away for a weekend. Make it a 3 day weekend.
