Because of a permission slip snafu (and a little thing called “parole violation”, thank you Richland County Sheriff’s office), I was not allowed on the field trip to Zero Gravity in Athens, GA, but for Jose, Derrick, Kyle, Will, Jim, Ian and Bruce, the immovable wooden doors of the magical barn of wonder and bemusement [...]
