Bumpy Road Turns

Middle-aged, tall, thin, Hamilton is one of those MD Anderson employees everyone knows.  He’s bowled since he was 16, and smiles when he talks about the year he bowled 11 strikes in a row.  Aging has brought issues with his neck and shoulders, so he’s happy to have an off season.  I ask him about other hobbies, and he talks about cooking and the chicken spaghetti he made this week.  He talks about a church friend who fishes on a pond that’s hard to find.  “At mile 27 you start looking for the bumpy road that’s leads to the pond.”  I couldn’t help but think about all the bumpy roads I’ve tried to miss in life, and those I’ve walked to become who I am today.  Don't miss the bumpy road turns today.
