We could have been buddies! It would have been a short hop of thirty
five miles from my house to yours. They just improved the highway, so I
could get there like lightning! Imagine how lucky you are for not doing
that ;-)
I could tell you about the birds I shot, deer I gutted and fish I
caught while I scooted some random cat into the next room when you
weren't looking. You could cook me a grand meal with a boatload of
beer.
Ah, damn...life is full of missed opportunities.
