Summer school was finally finished! What remained before me were the last vestiges of summer. Exactly a week of unadulterated, unencumbered, unparalleled free time.
Friday the 10th of August. What excitement, what endless possibility awaited me as I left my house and made my way south to Temecula. I do enjoy driving quite a deal, especially when able to listen to quality stories or music. In this case I was accompanied by the expolits of Napoleon, Snowball and all the other inhabitants of Animal Farm. The story is an amzing one, well told and very relevant especially considering it is an analysis and retelling of the rise of russian revolution and the Soviet Union. The Old Major is Karl Marx, Snowball is Vladimir Lenin and Napoleon is Josef Stalin.
By mid afternoon I arrived at the residence of Kathleen D. It was good to see her again and catch up. In the evening we went to the house of Christina L. for one final GBTV party before many of us go our separate ways off to College. Mrs. L out did her self yet again with another delicious dinner. We laughed and sang and played games. There was a over all "Avengers" theme. What can I say, some people really really loved the movie. (For the record, I find Tony Stark supreme). It was good to see and talk to all my GBT friends whom I havent seen since the Fling. For now though we go forth to all points of the compass, to college, to work, toward the next great chapter, to glory. I will miss them all. This 5 year marathon we have endured, the friendships and bonds of brotherhood forged, will forever hold a special place in my heart and soul.
"Surely the bravest are those, who see clearly what lies before them, Glory or Danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go forth to meet it." (Thucydides)
