The Fortune Teller

We traveled from Marble Falls to San Antonio for our 1970 senior trip. (Whoopee, that was a dandy trip after putting in 12 hard years)


Late in the afternoon we ended up by Breckenridge Park at an amusement park / arcade.
Several of us, Madeline included, decided to go to a fortune teller. When it was my turn she read my palms or something and said ” one day you will write a book”.


I don’t remember what it cost for the fortune teller but we all laughed until we cried at how wrong she was. You see I would never have graduated high school if not for the help of several of my girl classmates that helped me through every miserable hour of English Class.

I left the 12th grade with no clue the about what the difference was between and verb and a noun. I only knew that adverbs ended in LY sometimes or all the time. Is that right?


I was always a numbers guy.
