I pointedly ignored the look of surprise from the teenage girl at the counter. Then I followed my soon to be ship mates to the gangplank. It was a big...ship. Looking at my ticket I wondered how I was ever going to find my berth. Did they call them berths? Most of my knowledge of sea travel came from an old Humphrey Bogart war movie and A Night to Remember. The last movie I mentioned may not be the best one to use as a reference for an ocean cruise. I looked around and observed that my fellow. There’s a note as well.’ Kendra showed the still sealed envelope to Heather. When Heather reached out for it Kendra danced back pulling it out of her reach. Kendra opened it and read from the card ‘For my sweet Heather, the wild flowers for the side I saw last night. And, roses for the side that is delicate, I know it is there you’ve just hidden it well. Here’s to the search which is all the fun. Meet me at Cannizaro Park, Westside Common at seven. So I may feel plain walking next to you.’. I entered the place and signed in and waited my turn. Being retired I can go in off peak times so there were only 2 men ahead of me. Those guys were called to chairs and this beautiful young lady calls my name and takes me back to her chair in the back corner of the room. “Hi, I’m Ashley. I see you are a regular. Want the works?” she asked as she swung the chair around for me to sit in. “Sure thing kiddo, make me gorgeous,” was my smart ass reply. “Not much for me to work with,” she. I’ve also got some stuff to run past you if we have time before class ends.“Papers due tomorrow,” Jan announced to the classroom. “We’ll spend the last few days of class discussing the Federalist Papers. First some background and then we’ll look at Madison’s argument in Federalist Number Ten.”With that Jan began her lecture. When she got past facts and talked about ideas, Jake had always thought she was the best lecturer of all his teachers. As Jake listened, he also let her thoughts wash over.
