The Return of Moriarty

Placed on hold at Kaiser's and thinking back on what was 30, 40, 50 years ago. Who was I then? Is there any present connection? Did choices made then lead directly to now? Or is life just random selection? Moments pop to mind without regard to reason. There's one now running down the hill to class, step to step in tandem, two ten year boys, Jack Moriarty and I, frozen in time and space. What came before? What came after? Why was that moment defined and nailed in my mind? Jack's name still retained! I knew him only for a moment, while people I've worked with, and lived with for years are lost. Is this all just a matter of fragile chemistry? ...Have your Kaiser's number ready, we'll be with you momentarily.
