I don't really think about retrieving things much... It's more of a dog thing. My old dog was never very good at playing fetch, but man, she'd try. It was funny to watch her go after a ball or a stick or a frisbee and then lose track of it altogether. I miss her a lot. Hopefully she's in dog heaven. She was pretty well behaved..
There's this huge outlet mall by my house. I can remember one day, in the middle of winter, my dad and I decided to go there. We just walked around as the clouds teased us, faking that they could and would make snow at any minute. We just bounced between this store and that, not buying anything. My dad was in search of what he called a "hoodless hoodie." I just wanted to search for something new. It was a good day.
