James’ Friday Night

Spent some time walking around North Tacoma on Friday evening near my friend’s home. I saw families in their yards, mothers with strollers, and kids on skateboards. Then I saw James. James had a long board and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. “I’m gonna do it”, he said to his brother Nick. “Call 911 if you need to.”

James told me he hadn’t been on his skateboard in 10 years. “I’m old. This skateboard is older than these young punks out here, but I’m gonna show them.” And he did- kind of.
