And which do you play most fluently, the concertina or the melodica?

If I used prompts in my writing workshops I’d be tempted to offer this one this weekend at Bear River.

Makes me think of Marcus Aurelius: “Things don’t touch the soul: they stand motionless at the gate.”
I’d say objects stand at the gate and we have to go to them. If they’re inspiring it’s often because of the associations linked to them. Maybe only “subjects” touch our souls. They run out to meet us. What do you think?

Though being central state–with a less than clean lagoon off the Red Cedar River filled to the brim with carp in my backyard–I’ve yet to experience it or catch the frenzy. I guess I’m just jealous of all you northern dwellers. Really, though, is fishing only sport, then, or do people actually eat them up north where the water’s cleaner?

Since it was a Friday, I was code named “Crusoe,” and, when nature called, was required to yell “Hey, Louie, go long!” and hurl the melodica at his outstretched hands before he (and/or the ball) hit the snack bar candy bar showcase. Then, pal Willie, who for that night was code named “Friday,” would heft and tote the Ebonite, thus easing my shuffle to (and from) the gent’s room.

And then, after all that, I awoke and realized it was all (or most of it) a dream. Inspiring nonetheless.
