When Willie was a small boy he lived in Chalan Kanoa Village in Saipan. After school would let out I would "let him drive" my car for a while. What this meant was that he would sit in the front passengers seat and he would point with his thumbs left or right. I would follow his direction, we would blast tunes and cruise the neighborhood.
Tonight, after a tearful farewell with Manuel, we started back to Homer. When we got out of the mountains and into the bogs, I let him take over the wheel. There are no lefts or rights to choose from, but its 1230am, still light out, and we've got the tunes cranked!
