"You're a good man, Randolph. I wish I could've been more like you. I wasn't bad in my youth, but my life detoured off into a dirt road of crime and corruption. And I've never been able to wash that filth off me."

"Maybe you just didn't find a powerful enough soap bar, Sharkey. It's never too late to go shopping for another one."

He laughed. "Yeah, maybe I will..... Maybe I will."

We got back to the little airport just as the sun was starting to rise. I hoped before too long I would be back in sunny California...

    Oh no! Is this becoming a soap opera, Christopher? Only kidding...I can't wait to find out what gives with Heidi. :-)

    I didn't like that line about the soap, but I couldn't come up with an alternative so I had to leave it.

    Ah, Heidi. Things have taken a different turn with her than what I originally planned.

    This story, like the other two, has gone off in a direction I wasn't planning. It's amazing how these start developing a life of their own after their conceived and birthed.
