And Yet Another True Story:

In this tale, I was on a road trip with my two favorite traveling companions, Avon and our son Chris. When Chris was still quite young, maybe 4th or 5th grade, we lived in a small town and he went to a very small Catholic School. We took a trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons one summer. After several thousand miles and a lot of splendor and awe, we pulled up to Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park. I did the usual things like setting the emergency brake, pulling out the keys, and getting the camera, but not undoing the seat belt because there was none. Meanwhile Avon was getting out of the passenger side and Chris was piling out of the back seat. A car had pulled up next to us and similar things were going on inside it. A young boy climbed out of the back seat and said, “Hi Chris”. Chris looked up and said, “Hi Jimmy.” like it was no big deal, and off they went to look at the geyser. The dad who I knew by sight, but not by name and I just stared at each other like idiots. We had driven nearly 2 thousand miles to park next to one of Chris’s classmates from a school of barely 100 students.
