I was relieved when Larry and the head cheerleader drifted apart. I should have been concerned when Bob asked Larry for a date. The truth was that I was just too curious to see what would happen I just aided and abetted instead. Larry was even lovelier that night. They left and about a minute to midnight I heard Bob’s car drive up again. Of course I had prepared an unobtrusive view of the porch. Yes, there was a good-night kiss. Not a bad one. Really not a bad one.
- Hello Larry. How was the date?
- Not bad. Bob is nice but there was no spark. Bob is not into boys, even cute cheerleaders like me. And I’m not into boys. Even if they are hunks like Bob. So, we decided to be just friends. No spark as I said.
- But the kiss?
A minute’s silence
- OK, maybe I was wrong.

Larry seems to be a flexible person. In many ways.
Time is the longest distance to your destination.
Speaking from personal experience you can't be a good
ballet dancer if you're not flexible.
Seems as Flexable has Many Meanings
Ballet dancer, gymnastics, contortionist, tango dancers, it seems the list is almost endless. Let's twist this insane Bru tail back to Larry who is also flexible as boy-girl. Ever see a sidewinder crawl along the ground? As the name implies they don't move ahead like a normal snake. They move sideways not lengthwise. Has anyone clued in I'm making a very vague reference to this story? I may make another reference to what reading this seems like.
Bru. you missed the gears when you shifted your mind. I have a real strong suspicion all those high end parties, you stealing world ending secrets has not been without cost even if no one managed to catch you. I have some ocean front property in Oklahoma for sale.

Looking back at life's passing, I'm thinking what a Hell of a Ride. I wouldn't trade it for any other.

On flexibililty, deserts dwellers and oceanfront properties
I have a suspicion that I get what you imply with the side-winder. Of course crabs move sidewise as well.
Personally my favourite desert dweller is the kangaroo rat.
Flexibility is a many-faceted word. I noted your earlier concern about my linguistic flexibility (swallowed a dictionary). I blame that on nature and nurture as well as reading literally thousands of literary works in English.
I think I’ll pass on the oceanfront property. I’m quite satisfied with a 3-minute walk to the sea and a 15-minute walk to a lake. Nice swimming in both cases. Technically I live in a national park with the forest edge 20 meters away (in the direction of the sea) but the closest metro station is a two-minute walk away (in direction of the lake).

is slowly drifting to the pink force. Just maybe she will be happier?
Not pink - lilac (and black)
Have you had a look at the by-line?
