chanson, February 16, 2009

On Saturday the weather was strangely warm for late October. It was like Summer again all of the sudden. I had nothing to do, so I called up Sam and Joe’s house. Joe was home all by himself because Sam was at football practice and his parents had decided to go with him in order to show their support and then maybe go out do a little shopping afterwards. Joe was just sitting around reading or something, so he said he didn’t mind if I wanted to come over.

We fixed ourselves some lunch, and after lunch — since it was such a nice day — we decided to go for a walk along the Provo River. Read the rest of the story ร‚ยป

    Thanks Hellmut!

    This whole segment (Orem High) is essentially a comedy. But I have a bit of a perverse sense of humor, so I’m glad when people get it and like it. ๐Ÿ˜€
