Kel had a while before he was scheduled to work and knew that since Dixie was around, that if he was running late, she'd ensure he was covered. Thinking quickly about how to approach what happened today and the fact he wanted to make sure Johnny was doing as fine as possible after such a difficult morning, Kel figured it would be best to just be straight with him. "Before I drop you back at the Stanleys, would it be okay if we went to your apartment and talked? I won't have time otherwise…

My midnight black eight-year-old eyes stare intently at the tall man standing in front of me. He wears a purple and yellow striped shirt, a very unflattering color combination, with thick sand-tan cargo shorts, and piled on top of his head is a massive brown afro. Who is that? I wonder as I clasp my sister’s sweaty chubby hand tighter. The man steps aside to reveal a big banner on the doorway. “Yerba Buena Skatebowl Camp” it reads, and it hangs lopsided, one end brushing the top of a young…

Popping An Ollie Physics Around Campus Ryan Meehan Physics 102 Spring 2017 This is a picture of me popping an ollie in the basement of Dooley Hall. An ollie is the first trick that many skaters learn, as it is the foundation for almost every other trick and can help skaters avoid obstacles such as small cracks and rocks that could ruin your day, and knees.

You arranged everything . . . and so I came to share it--or pretended to..." (Act III…
