Well crafted and interesting write. It would seem we humans all take an occasional wrong turn. Make a course correction and keep on moving forward.

Ah, but one doesn't really know if it was a wrong turn until The End! Nicely done! Aloha! Rico

I absolutely love your self effacing humor. At my age, it's the only way to fly. Wonderful rhyme young lady, made me smile:)
