Chapter 337 Peaks And Valleys(Erotica):>Ep2
- In the years that followed, the mountains were never far from my thoughts. I often day dreamed of climbing. At both the school and public libraries, I must have checked out and read every book about the mountains and mountain climbing a dozen times. When I got into middle school I knew I wanted to move to Colorado.
- My grandpa didn't care much for that idea. "Colorado?" he asked. "Ah hell, all there is in Colorado is hippies, faggots, and granolas." That answer, even though I didn't fully comprehend all of his words, ended any possibility of living in Colorado before college.
- I knew better than to ask my grandma about all of the words he had used. I once asked her what an "asshole" was, only to have my mouth washed out with soap. I would have to ask my friend Timmy North about "faggots". I had heard the word "hippy" on TV, and I knew that granola was something you could see in the store, so I was safe to approach grandma with those.
