In grade school, learning how to use a map brought up some heavy questions. Is there more to our universal than just this world? How do I get to other countries? How do I remember which way is North South East West? Never Eat Soggy Waffles. Still to this day I will make a cross-like symbol with my hands to remember the cardinal directions, much like an “L” and a backwards “L” for left and right. Through the Longview fall, Trey and I ran a few miles to enjoy the colors and light wind of the autumn season and this leave-fallen path made me think back on those awe-inspiring, navigation questions from so long ago. The idea of waffles trailed my thoughts to breakfast which narrowed my thoughts to biscuits. So somehow a compass rose encouraged homemade biscuits, bacon, ham, fresh butter and a few cups of cafe au laits.
