I was relaxing on the porch, enjoying the morning solitude of Booger Hollow. Thinking about my life and what to do with it.<\/p>\n
Then\u00a0I saw a face.<\/p>\n
A woman. A slender face. Long slim nose, pouty red lips, very high cheekbones, ivory skin. Somehow she looks Japanese.<\/p>\n
It honestly took me a minute to believe that what I was looking at what just an old stained towel hanging up on the line. It was as though she was winking at me.<\/p>\n
The towel had been there for a day or so. But I hadn’t noticed the face.<\/p>\n
Was my imagination roaming because I was relaxed?<\/p>\n
Or was she just waiting to show herself until the moment when I needed a piece of inspiration?<\/p>\n
Today’s penny is a 1999, the one and only time I spent a day in Japan, en route to Indonesia.<\/p>\n
