Just as I headed for the door for a quick turn-around trip to the lake, I glanced at my smartphone on the kitchen counter. “Naw,” I thought, 'I don't need that. I am only going to be gone for five minutes.”
I
took a couple more steps toward the door, stopped, and considered. No, I didn't
need my phone. But my phone is now my camera. I thought about what I always
tell Desiree when she wants to leave her phone behind when we embark on a quick
errand: “What if we run into a UFO out there, and both Elvis and Bigfoot step
outside the craft asking us to take their picture together?”
I
turned around and grabbed my phone. Regrettably, I captured no photograph of Bigfoot
and Elvis. I either arrived at the lake five minutes too early or missed them
by the same margin.
