Favorite Memory from High School

Tying threads to the legs of flies in the cafeteria so they could only hover a foot above the table (Stabler and I were co-conspirators), sticking plastic straws into pats of butter at lunch and flinging them to stick on the ceiling, where they would melt and drop down on tables in seventh hour study hall. Enjoying “senior privileges” sitting outside behind the cafeteria and shooting the breeze with friends. Basketball, baseball
