Hat: nah, I like them right even, with miles ahead in some directions, lagging where I excell. It makes a full genius with two brains and double lists of skills, a very good life.
Names: I missed that by 20 years early. I remember that silliness about when my daughter was born. ...had my grown-up brains installed well before that.
Nicely done, Sharron. Very nicely done. Loving No 1. But the second one opens up a follow up tale of an evening in the hotel cocktail bar. Less is more.
Either of these would make a great opening for a full-length story. Yeah, hat on backwards, staring into the sun. Duh. I laughed at the last line. Totally unexpected.

Greetings, Kate. Thanks for reading my stuff. You are the best, my friend. Happy summer to you.
What a pair of stories, here. Love the guy in the hat one, had us both laughing!
Thanks, Linda. Happy you liked it.
Haha.
Hey! It's Heather! How the hell are you? Long time no :see".
I'm still lurking so I can read awesome stuff like yours! :-)
Are you on the lam? Or undercover? Are you well??
Just sent you an email...💚
Loved the movie Body Heat.... we watched it not too long ago. "You're not very bright, I like that in a man' I think were the borrowed words.
The second story seems like an intro to a tryst.
Hmmmm. Maybe so. I had in my mind two men, but, hey!

Thanks, Barrie! Two men? Or man and woman? What do you reckon?
Always good to turn things on their heads and twist expectations.
Funny! I used to say to my son, "you know they make those hats with the brim on the front now."
What an odd concept - a visor in front?
#1) - Terrific! LOL!
#2) - Ditto!
Ha! Quick reads for a Wednesday morning. Hope you are well, James Ron. Wait a minute - aren't you in Louisiana?
Yes, I head back Saturday morning. I've been enjoying the rain.

Cool! Yeah. I think I could maybe get a full page out of the airplane conversation... Thanks KC!
Man, Sharron, those are great fifties, but in the picture there’s only one shown twice.
Ha ha ha! NUTS! I was hoping no one would notice those serial numbers.... you have a sharp eye... for an old guy.
Love the Body Heat reference!
Thanks, J. William Hurt played such a loser. I loved it.
Haha. Love both of these, Sharron.
You do well to make me grin whilst reading. That's no easy feat ;)
Thanks, Nathan. I try for depth and drama, but I often find that my strong suit is humor. Glad Substack allows me to experiment and grow.
You seen to be very capable of all!
Cute stories
Welcome to Leaves, Vince. Thanks for reading my little ones and for your vote if confidence.
These are brilliant, Sharron! I particularly like the first - you are the QUEEN of the last line - always a terrific surprise!
