” Lilly shook her hand before they started walking. In her normal fashion Lilly bounced down the street saying hello and Merry Christmas to everyone...she passed. Even though she was still miserable, Kelly could not help but be somewhat cheerful with how Lilly was acting. The mall was less than a mile away from Lilly’s house but the walk through the snow slowed them down a little. Kelly was starting to slip into her moody girl routine from the cold when they finally reached the mall. They were. I ignored them and slipped into fifth, neck and neck with the 350. The Camaro went to nitrous, a surprise, and shot past us. ‘Fuck this,’ I said and popped into sixth. I claimed the lead by a nose, the Camaro and the 350 finished right behind me, the Viper behind them. I pulled off and led them back to another circuit already gathering in the loop. It wouldn’t last long, but it would work. Just when I felt good the Camaro turned and took off. Cal broke off and sped after it and I left it to. Nothing like getting on the bakers good side. I told her the eggs were about 7 to 10 days old, but should be good still. She was ecstatic.I was going to have supper with the Bannermans later that evening, so I made my way with a couple guys to the baker, Ms. Virginia Fletcher. She was amazed at what I had brought with me. The crate of apples and oranges, and a large carton of cherries I was using to bribe her, set her mouth to watering. We agreed on a reasonable price for these extra supplies.. Boy, do they ever have a different point of view.One day I went to a chat room. I'd never been to one before. It was just a lot of people talking about all sorts of things. I went to one where people were talking about their lousy marriages because it seemed to fit my situation the best. After listening for a little bit (reading the remarks), I started typing. I was "talking" about my home situation.Some woman answered my reply and asked me if I wanted to talk about it? She said we could go to.
