Would you like a value meal? "Three spoons please," said Kari, "Three spoons." Is there anything else? Three spoons, said Kari Tjaden, my 15 year old daughter, in front of four other people walking thru the local fast food drive up window late last night in Vermillion, S.D. "We looked all over the hotel for spoons but couldn't find any," said my daughter laughing. Imagine what the talk of that fast-food joint was after she left. You didn't even order something on the dollar menu? Wow, I wouldn't have the nerve to walk through drive-through, let alone order three spoons. The employee probably thought Kari was on a scavenger hunt. Mandatory fun day at the lake is my schedule for the day. Later, I may revist the Internet highway to jot down any unusual things that I witness with my hazel eyes and Minnesota dishwater blonde covered head. Who am I? Just an average Joe Blow with aspirations and dreams who grew up in Luverne, Minnesota on Estey street. Fred Manfred's home town. It's time to go kick up inspiration for writing.
