Looking at him now you get the impression that he was something to look at during his younger days.
Larry graduated from the University more than thirty years ago.
Larry was never ‘married’, not necessarily in the real sense, but in the students language it simply meant being in a serious relationship…one with all the benefits of the married.
Many of his friends lived a married life while on campus, and then were children when they went home for the holidays.
Larry was more fascinated in his experiments and discoveries. He lived through the university without taking part in the happenings of such gatherings of young people.
Larry was a genius and relatively good looking – this combination would have got him more female friends than he could deal with.
Because of his exceptional grades he was immediately given employment at the university in the science department – hardly anybody could match his research and laboratory skills.
Lately strange things are happening to Larry, he has begun to notice the good things on campus.
For example when he walks by the basket ball court he pictures himself as the local basket ball star…and not just on court but the life, the girls, the partying.
When he sits down to watch a game of football, he is the almighty quarterback…with all the ‘privileges’ that come with the position.
The other day walking past the library, he was the campus king - there is a young lady walking down an adjacent path – she smiles and Larry is grinning from ear to ear. As he slows down to chat, she walks by and hugs the guy walking right behind him. Then he is old Larry once again.
Some days he is the campus nud – and enjoys his moments of compassion from some of the lovely girls, but also the angry shoulder butts from the jealous guys.
Other times he is on the happy-go-lucky campus crew. Blown by the wind in whichever direction.
Larry had always been into his studies and work and he could be classified as a top notch lab technician.
He kind of missed out on the going on’s in the university when he was still a young man.
He got invited to many students organized functions, but he found his experiments in the laboratory more fulfilling.
Everyone of us dreams of what we could be in somebody else’s place. How we would maximize live our lives to the full as somebody else.
Interestingly, somebody else looking at us thinks how their lives would be great if they were us.
