While, "The Hit" worked posted resumes on
Yahoo's new Monster jobs site his mind wandered back to the St. Brieux
Christmas. "The Hit" was 13 and his brother Leo was 16 years old.
They really didn't calculate their time. This Christmas was very similar
to the previous Rocky Ridge Ranch Christmas, except Joe and his wife had moved
out of the house because they could not take the town drunk. The camper
from Ridgedale was in the old school which had become a repair shop. They
spent the week visiting relatives, and the town drunks Christmas went a lot like
the year before in the Rocky Ridge Ranch. Once
again "The Hit" was ready for a racing Greyhound heading east on the Trans
Canada Highway. He was going to have to suck it up again at 13 years of
age, and he realized his Internet connection in Toronto on January 20 TH was
getting expensive.
