I
was thirteen or fourteen when I went with grandma Pat to her card
games.
I
set up chairs and tables.
*
I
went to meet girls.
Well,
at least to look at them.
Better
to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all.
*
I
don't know what kind of card games were played.
Maybe
pinochle or bridge.
*
The
big room was the size of a gymnasium, and was normally used by Holy
Rollers to do their rolling around, and whatever else they did, holy
or not.
I
sure know one thing for sure, they made a loud racket.
I
didn't care much for their religious practice.
*
I
did all of my looking until it was time to leave.
I
was too shy to go up and talk to any of the damsels.
But
there was always a next time.
