As I crossed the street at the crosswalk-no way was I giving Robert reason to write me a ticket for jaywalking-my mind turned toward the last two months, the encounter with internal Reading strife stirring up the past. Though, it wasn't so much the fact our town was under threat, as far as I was concerned, that had me rewinding a few months. It was, instead, the happy memory of my connection to Crew that had me smiling over the lip of my cup rather than frustrated by what might be coming with the pending election.
