Things were easier then, life was different. Kids felt safe in their little bubbles. Iβd cycle to my piano lessons, cutting through the empty lot without a shred of fear.
Iβd ring the bell for my lesson; if my teacher didnβt answer immediately, Iβd wait on the bench. One time I waited so long, I was about to leave when the door flew open and a girl came running out, sobbing, her clothes a disheveled mess. My teacher called out after her.

My only reason for ever feeling fear was the way my piano teacher looked at me that day.

Imagine if you will a girl, her dog and three hapless friends searching for a wizard to grant their deepest wishes.
People love scrappy little pups. But what if the dog was a mangy seagull with a caw like a rusty fan belt? What if his wish was to crow like a mighty rooster, to wake the townspeople with his majestic “cock-a-doodle-doo“?
The wise and benevolent wizard could not fulfill such hopes but his reassuring message was that everyone’s wishes would come true if only they dared to dream.
I do believe that gull with lofty ambitions dared to dream..

Just my luck! First day of my new job; things couldnβt have gotten off to a worse start!
Overnight blackout during a heatwave.
No electricity.
No AC; I sweat like crazy all night and smell like an ox.
No alarm clock; I overslept.
No time for a shower and shave.
No closet light; Iβm wearing one brown shoe and one black.
I look like a derelict!
Nothing for breakfast; no time for even fast food.
Iβm stuck behind road hogs. “Outta my way, you fools! Iβm late for work!“
Some first impression. I must have a cloud over my head!
