The Treacherous Tube Ride  I'm at a Brimson basketball game with my friend Stephen Ramos. After the game we meet my dad. Stephen hugs my dad, but I don't. Will Dunks is there, meeting his parents.  I'm at a Kings Boat Cafe. The restaurant is a boat. My brother Wally and his friend Brian Rappaport are there, as well as my friends Tiny Combs and Hilary Nano. We are eating, or have to eat, a hot dish. In it is the main dish, dessert: everything, all in one. My schoolmates Holly and Megan Tanks are there. I talk to Holly about the University of Montana. She asks me about college. I think she thinks I go to the University of Montana Dillville.  I'm going down the Dirty River on a tube. There is a water park connected to the river. I just make it, grabbing on to a railing and pulling myself up onto a flume-like ride on my tube. If I would have missed the ride, I would have been hurt or killed, because the river gets rough ahead.  I'm riding the bus back from the water park. The Tank twins are next to me. They show my holes in their arms from donating plasma, and say they're finishing up their donations next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  Darwin Chaimberlin, Jimmy Youngman, and I are walking back from a basketball game. Darwin stays I should go teach Hebrew school. I say I don't know anything about that. He says I can go to a meeting that night and learn.
