On the 10th Day ...

[Marlene Anne Sassaman]

On the 10th day B4 setting a course for Sandy Hook, New Jersey I was let down this afternoon by 3 out of 4 guys. Thankfully my brother unconditionally loves me, is reliable and eager to share his knowledge. Whereas the sail maker again put the needs of his other customers before me, an acquaintance was predictably unreliable (shoulda' bet $50 on that one). Then there is pretty blue eyes who knows sailing tomorrow is contingent on getting the new hoses on but has made no offer to help (maybe he didn't get my text yet).

Ay but there is hope. A I girlfriend wants to bring along a sailing guy she knows for a cruise on Sunday. Do you think they will agree to do a little dirty work? Well with the tenth day quickly turning to the ninth I best quit complaining and be optimistic that I alone will get those d___hoses on!
