Billy Hanson called. Aaron Jacob smiled as he waved to the ten year old running to his mom’s blue minivan. “Bye, Jimmy. See you tomorrow,” Aaron returned. Aaron walked briskly to his car that was parked in the teacher’s lot. He unlocked and opened the door, tossed his briefcase into the back seat and got into his white Toyota Camry. He cautiously backed out of the parking space, careful to look for any wandering kids, then took off. He breathed deeply as he loosened his necktie and unbuttoned his collar. Today was a half day due to some quirky holiday and he was able to leave early. Aaron wanted to take advantage of the extra time off and get to the gym early for a change. He would work out and then indulge in one of his favorite pastimes; walking on the beach. He was blessed that he lived in Jacksonville Florida and could go to the shore as much as he wanted to. He loved it there. It was peaceful and tranquil and he could think.
