I rode my bike to Andy's to deliver him some tea, then asked him to show me how to get up into his tree fort. He deftly wove through the branches of the huge magnolia tree, up, up, up to the platform in three swift movements. I mentally focused on his path, grabbed a low branch and, feeling my sneakers biting into the crackly bark, grunted as I attempted to squeeze between some 2x4's only to get snagged on a particularly thick hunk of bark. Andy unstuck me, and once I got in I felt like I had stumbled onto an old secret, to awaken and live a childhood dream.
