@edgarblythe,
edgar, I had forgotten that today is Pearl Harbor day. If you will, explain that Pearl Harbor, Tennessee song. I don't understand the message behind the two kids flying a glider.
Thanks again for your comments, Texas.
The movie, Pearl Harbor was on the other night, but I didn't watch it. I just remember bits and pieces from the first time.
Today is Harry Chapin's birthday, so here is a tribute to him.

I still recall Beware of the Dog, however. The problem with many short stories is that writers often fail to catch the reader with the exposition. A good one does so, then the rising action leading to a climax then the resolution; all should be succinct and compressed.
