Cleo reminded her young son, as they finished their picnic, to put his trash in the public bin. Toss your wrappers and soda cans there, she said. Inside the plastic bag, she repeated that several time because sometimes her 10-year-old really wasn’t listening. Then she added, if you don’t, the junk police are going to come looking for you and then what? Trouble, young man. And that’ll mean no summer basketball, no popsicles, no… She stopped talking when he started laughing. Maybe, he said between chuckles, we could throw your junk police in there, too. We can do that, right?

Was it easy for you? Flavor of the day featured on the marquee is tempting. Every day a new, exciting challenge. Has it been like tasting testing ice-cream at the parlor and thinking “meh” and then trying a different one? I guess, when you have so many colorful tubs to choose from it is easier to toss the spoon into the trash. And, really does it matter when it is just ice cream? But that mentality is going to leave a path of strewn hearts discarded casually behind you when it comes to love. I know because I am one.
