More than being a productive member of society

A man of men
Sometimes I am humbled by the people I know.
One prime example is a great guy I ran into at the movie theatre with his family (his son is starting his college career at Auburn in the fall? Oh, we age quickly!), with whom I worked at Avocent Corporation, a wonderful software engineer and former football star, Tracy Kendall.

Our historians here on Mars are holding one of their famous two-second debates.
Today’s question: what triggered the catastrophic climate change on Earth.
Well, folks, the historians have reached a consensus.
The answer?
Based on limited information gleaned from the Earth-based datasets that have not corrupted with age, the experts believe an invention called the automatic window control switch for motor vehicles was the official tipping point.
We’re not sure what that means but we just report the findings, not interpret them.

My life forever changed…
I was a typical teenager in high school, discovering life with fellow students, when a new teacher appeared, both my homeroom teacher and English composition/drama class teacher.
She had the hots for me but I was just smart, naive and ignorant enough to avoid her advances.
However, she finally bedded a student younger than me, got pregnant, married the student and lives with him in Tampa where he is a television news anchor.
Her advances confused my sense of propriety and teacher/student roles we assign each other for conveniences of social engagement.
Certainly, intimate relationships don’t always obey the decorum of staying within your age bracket.
But, as a writer, the possibilities of what goes through the thoughts of those involved are entertaining.
For example, switch genders and ask yourself if the sociopathic mindset is any more or less intriguing of one such as Hannibal the Cannibal when female: Tampa, the novel.
