Who is that guy? Scarred, misshapen, no muscle, abdominal "pooch," minimal remaining hair... very gray. Wonder why he's wearing my swimming trunks (a size or two too big) and mimicking my every move? Can't be me?
Walking the white sand of Jacksonville Beach. Sun, wind, waves, fat people, skinny people (bikinis!!), cripples (there are a lot of us)... sounds of water, sea gulls, kids laughter... Gazing into wave receding from the sand, I see a distorted reflection... could it be me?
Quick telephone call to Pam, text to and from the kids, happy to be me!
