Picture Bennett sitting in a camping chair with a fishing pole in one hand and a Budweiser in the other. He is shirtless… cutoff jeans… water shoes.

A young boy sits on the bank next to him and digs through a picnic basket as Bennett watches the river flow.

Bennett’s attention is drawn to the boy and he watches him searching for a moment. Then, he clears his throat, waves a mosquito away from his ear.

“How’s school, Kevin?”

“It’s OK, Dad.”

“What’s your favourite subject?”

“It changes from time to time, but right now I guess its Science. We’re studying the universe. Stars, planets, black holes, white dwarfs, light years, things like that. It’s pretty cool.”

“Light years, huh? What’s a light year?”

“You don’t know what a light year is, Dad?”

“’Course I do, boy. A light year is ah, well it’s, I reckon it might be the same as a regular year, only one third fewer calories.”

Their laughter cuts off when Bennett’s line goes taught. The fish starts to run.
