Trying to fly
April 15, 2021
One evening, when we lived in Russell, Lon went outside after dinner to work on a project, as he did many evenings. I was standing at the kitchen sink washing dishes, where there was a window above the sink, and I happened to look up to see Lon with a full sheet of plywood over his head. Our back yard had a small hill which sloped down to the shed and to my amazement, there he is taking a running start down the hill with the plywood over his head and he eventually stopped by the shed. Upon him coming into the house, I asked him what he was doing outside. He replied...not too much. I started laughing. He said don't tell me you saw what I did. I said what were you trying to do. He responded...trying to fly.
