Chalkboards are becoming a thing of the past. I haven't been in a classroom in over 8 years, but I was recently in an elementary school and I saw a new gadget. Wow. Now that is something I can honestly say I would not see the end of. But yes, it's true! I like the new chalkboards. They are cleaner.

There is a club in West Texas called the Starlight Ballroom. It is in Terlingua, Texas--very close to the Mexican border. Have you ever been to the Big Bend area in Texas? If you have not, it's a must--especially if you enjoy the darkest skies.

The circus was in town. How I wish I could go, but we were broke. That day I had to go to the store to buy eggs. As I was walking to pay I found a $20.00 bill on the grocery floor. ...found money! There was no way of knowing who it belonged to. I pocketed the money, and since it was 20 years ago, I had enough money for a circus ticket, popcorn, and a coke.

The circus was in town. I wanted to go so badly, but we were broke. That day I had to go to the grocery store to buy eggs. As I was walking out, there on the floor, was a crisp $20.00! ...found money. It was 20 years ago so I had plenty of money for the circus, popcorn, and a coke.

I gathered up all the berries that fell out of his hat. I liked the way he picked berries and filled his hat with them. But today was different. He'd fallen over in pain--grasping his chest. After the ambulance came, the berries laid scattered across the, still wet, ground.

I gathered my thoughts. It'd been years since we'd seen each other. What would I say? How does he feel about me now? I walked out the door and headed towards the car. Thunder. That's just what I need, I thought to myself. But then I couldn't help but laugh. Thunder. How appropriate.
