“Welcome to the III section of the business, Jerry. Here is where we use the three “I”s—imagination, innovation, and inventiveness which our company has the reputation for. Everyone who works in this department thinks great things; that nothing is impossible if you work hard, then creates those things in usable form. Watch your step here, you wouldn’t want to fall. You never know what old Jonesy is working on down there,” chuckling.
“Gee, Mr. Smythe, this sure is awesome”, fiddling with a screwdriver. Jerry unwittingly unscrews a huge loose bolt, sending it plummeting towards Jonesy’s area.
Waking up at four with a problem, my whole day has been off and wonky. I have been saved by a few bloggers’ posts, however and one reminded me of a movie. A saying from the movie is frequently used by my family. Do yourself a favor and give it a look see 😄
I heard a voice calling out my name from inside the house, and when I opened the door, a wraith in the form of my dad came floating inside! I was just getting my breath back when it started to speak with my dad’s voice!
“Sorry to bother, son, but I seem to have lost my way. Do you still have that compass I gave you when you were ten?”
I couldn’t speak, unable to move. My dad’s ghost slipped past me and sat down at the kitchen table. “I didn’t mean to startle you, I guess I can be a bit of a shock. And I don’t want to monopolize your time, but I really need that compass.”
“Uh, is it really you, dad? You look sort of filmy.”
“Well after being buried and then living “on the other side”, it’s what happens. No worries, son, I’m fine. I just need the compass to guide me. We’re all meeting Halloween night in the Hoia Baciu forest, and I haven’t a clue how to get there.”
I went up to the attic and retrieved the item. I tried to give my dad a hug before he left, but he was just a foggy mist.

“What the hell is a weltanschauung?” Joe decided to toss caution to the wind and blurt out what each classmate was thinking. The Jonas sisters, Yin and Yang, added laughter to the turmoil because each girl was a secret admirer of Joe. Previously, the two girls were a blessing to Miss Fussy and would honor her each day with an apple. Their parents liked Miss Fussy and her strict curriculum.
Joe’s friend Mike added to the situation asking Miss Fussy, “Yeah, man, are you high?” Joe gave his friend a nod and the beauty of Miss Fussy’s face turning red fueled more laughter. The tone of the remaining thirty minutes of English class was chaotic.
