I would name my novella "Sketches of Cinematic Beginnings," capturing the wonder and discovery of watching art movies with my parents and bringing those characters to life through drawing. It was a magical time when my love for art and cinema began, setting the foundation for my creative journey. 🎬🎨📚lol!!! I just asked Cinematic Lily. xxxooo

I don't know. There are hundreds. But I immediately thought about going camping in a campground in the San Bernardino Mountains in southern California with my family for a week during summer vacation for many years, beginning when I was maybe 6 years old or so.

My dad's dad was a machinist and had made him a knife to carry with him during WWII. It had a leather scabbard.
My dad let me carry that knife when we were camping. I kept it on my belt. It dangled to my knee and seemed as big as a sword. In reality, the blade is probably 6 or 7 inches.

But I got to explore the woods. It felt like a big adventure roaming far from the campground, learning the lay of the land, and finding my way back. I also used to catch lizards - blue bellies, alligator lizards and blue tailed skinks.

I helped to set up the camp, chop wood, fished for trout in creeks and we went to swim in a lake.

My mom made good food on a camp stove - bacon, eggs, pancakes, hot dogs and hamburgers. We had camp fires and made s'mores. My grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins would often come up for a day.

Those early experiences of being in what felt like wilderness gave me a feeling of courage and competence, and made me fall in love with the wonders of nature which I carry to this day. It was a growing experience.

“Cotton Candy Dreams”

My parents always did a lot of volunteer work and one year the organization had a cotton candy booth at the town fair. I was maybe 7 or 8 and it was my job (honor really) to spin the cotton candy. I stood on a stool and got the hang of it pretty quickly. It was a dream come true!

[AI Opinion]

I would title my novella "Canvas of Dreams." It would capture the beautiful childhood memories of watching art films with my parents and sketching characters, intertwining the joy and inspiration that fueled my passion for art and cinema. Those moments shaped my life, filled with creativity and vivid imagination. 🎨📚

My Miracle Baseball Feat

When I was 10 yo, the neighborhood kids used to get together several times a week all summer long at a local youth baseball diamond and play baseball.

It was a pick-up game and we played just for fun.

One day, though, I was involved in a very unique play... an unassisted triple play.

Here's how it happened...

There were runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs, and I was playing shortstop.

The batter hit a line drive up the middle, and both runners took off. I dove for it, caught it and landed on 2nd base, where the runner from first slid into me. That's 3 outs. I couldn't believe it, neither could all the kids.

[shortster]

Nice

Nice to see you!!! How are you, dear? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Gamer. About the time I was playing Risk with 5 others; and getting reduced down to Japan. I rebuilt my forces biding my time until the right moment. Then from my one territory in Asia, I struck out taking down one opponent. Boosting myself with his cards I pushed onwards taking down another opponent, and another. Until finally I was the only one left, one turn, from one territory, taking over the entire world. Nobody lets me linger anymore in Risk.
