Fast Friends

Nina, Yory, Serena and Sylvie are in town.
Nina's the oft mentioned "big sis" and Serena and
Sylvie are the too infrequently mentioned nieces.
Tonight we gathered, with a gaggle of friends, out at
Two Lights State Park. Doug and Sheila brought little
Liam along, and I was wondering if there might be
perhaps a meeting of the minds amongst the
four-to-five-year-old contingent. Initial shyness was
replaced by rose hip fascination (Liam is an expert).
But the out and out bliss occurred during a stunning
segment of "under the frisbee" - in which two
childish adults toss a white disk back and forth to
one another, while two giggling and squealing
lovebirds tempt fate by dancing perilously close to
the line of fire. Youthful glee: a failsafe balm to
this old man's spleen.
