I’m in my late 40’s and I’ve been on this crew for quite a long time. My seniors have all retired, and I’m the old man on the job now. The r...st of the crew ranges in age from mid 20’s to early 30’s, mostly men but a few women too. As the old man, the others pretty much take their cues from me. They mostly learned their trade under my tutelage and I make an effort to not only be their teacher, but a friend and mentor figure too.One of the women on the crew is named Annie. She’s 30-ish and. "What we are really going to need are detonators, and a trigger," she informed me. "You haven't given me enough information to know exactly how many detonators."Then it's twenty pounds of Semtex and twenty five detonators. We need the detonators to have different frequencies I suppose?" I suggested."Five each of five frequencies should work." Eve suggested."Okay but we need to make a lot of noise," I admitted."That will do it," she informed me."Okay we can blow the airstrip and mine the road,". ... ?hm ach ja, sie d?rfen sich dir nicht n?hern,das verlangt die Tradition." Was soll denn dieser Unsinn? Wenn jemand Sorgen hat und sich mir nichtn?hern darf, wie soll er dann mit mir reden?" Deswegen gibt es doch die traditionelle Regelung, dass nurauserw?hlte....!" Bleib mir mit der ollen verstaubten Tradition vom Halse!" Jeanie, Kind, ver?ndere nicht auch noch diese Feierlichkeit. Allelangj?hrigen erprobten Traditionen wirfst du einfach so mir nichts, dirnichts ?ber den Haufen. Woran kann. "And everybody knows you're drinking buddies."I was speechless for a moment, then, "I don't think that's gonna happen." Then I began to ruminate what I'd just heard, "Affairs? You? Three times?"It turned out Sheila was a wild one. Her first affair began before her first wedding anniversary, an old boyfriend who showed up at her high school reunion. Then one from work and lastly a guy from her church.===Ryan===Heather had told me that people were noticing we had gone out drinking together a few.
