Seven Year Old at the Swimming Pool

What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?

My Mom sent me to the swimming pool for the afternoon, knowing I would be out of her hair for a few hours. She sent me without snacks or money to buy a snack. I remember that day I learned to do a back dive. By late afternoon I was absolutely famished and my mother wasn’t picking me up for another hour.

I don’t know where I got it, but somebody gave me a pretzel rod. I ate that pretzel so slowly, enjoying the salt and the yeast from the pretzel.

Somehow I remember that day and a single pretzel.

    Hey Mr. Mark, that photo you posted me to have a serious craving attack for my childhood street vendor food SIMIT. I’ve got to go to this one Turkish eatery today and buy one.

    Taste and smell are strong triggers. Now I want to go to Turkey.

    Hi again Mr. Mark, I’ll toss in another Deutsche word :’Fremdsprachkenntisse’. Learned in Istanbul, Turkiye high school.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
