Let's say...

Let's say you woke up one morning and decided that you weren't going to go to work. And let's say that instead of going to work, you decided to go out for a large, leisurely breakfast.

Spread out in the booth, several newspapers to read, comics to linger over with all the time in the world. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausage, and strong coffee, the works. This despite your concern for the cholesterol.

But let's just say.

And let's say you had a booth by the window. And let's say that the day was overcast, but there was still some sun, enough sun to make the day feel young and ripe. And let's say you finished eating and left the restaurant feeling light and easy, and you decided to just kick around. Just the way kids in the movies do, kids who walk along the train tracks with walking sticks and no appointments to keep, the world filled with an undefinable feeling of anything-can-happen.

What would you do then?

Let's say. Let's just say.
