Decade O' Nick

Today is Nick's birthday. He's ten years old. Ten years of kids - wow!

One memory that I have from when I was ten features my non-friend Dirk who was at my house. We were playing outside in my parents' woods, and started to run. Since I was familiar with the trees and knew how to avoid running into them, I could run faster than Dirk. I thought it would be fun/mean to ditch Dirk - outrun him and leave him to fend for himself in the woods. So, I did.

After that, we didn't hang out much - which was probably a good thing, since he ended up dropping out of school and exploring the world of drugs. (NOTE: I didn't drop out of school or explore the world of drugs, which probably directly related to me being in the 10% of my high school class that went to college.)

So, I think that the moral of the story is this: If I ever ditch you in a woods, you should consider yourself a non-friend. But don't do drugs. Really.
