Three potential titles

this weekend i did something that most kids do not get the opportunity to do. on saturday i drove out to a family friends cabin on the st. croix river just north of stillwater. i went there to harvest honey. when i got there i was stopped by a 90 year old man named arnie. after being interigated for what felt like hours he finally said i could throw on his bee suit and go do work. arnie asked me quesitons about where i lived, where i went to school, he made me list every class i have ever taken. i didnt until near the end of this conversation that he was on the school board for edina back in the day and used to live just blocks from me. this guy also started childrens hospitol so i guess that it was a privilage that i got to speak with this man. having a bee suit on and being swarmed by bees was a really cool experience. once we took apart the hives we drove it quickly back to the house via a golf cart and made honey, which is a long tedious process. hanging out with arnie this weekend on top of harvesting honey made my weekend interesting and arnie in a way gave me a different perspective on life.
