I’m late reading this. I loved the conversation idea. It was hard but my choice is #1.

Alternate Timelines Are Cruel - May all our alternate selves live in beach houses.

Scramblin’ Man - “When I was born with a spatula in my right hand, They knew I was my Daddy’s son” That poor mom though. Ouch!

Reader’s Choice. You Pick The Conversation - I like the “Peanut butter crackers” one the most.

Definitely liked peanut butter crackers best! But they were all good, including the stories not associated with the picture!

Mark, Having lived all three variations in some manner, I'm hard put to choose a favorite. But I'm leaning towards #3.

One of the features of the multiverse, Mark, is that all things are possible... but not necessarily likely. So there *IS* a you out there somewhere living in a house on a beach... possibly wondering what kind of idiot he was to sink all the family cash into property that will be under water during the next hurricane that hits, and thinking he should have stuck with that airline job...

“Scramblin’ Man” — Worthy of Al Yankovic!

“3-Line Conversations” — #1. Totally relatable! “It’s a five-mile trail, how hard could it be?”

"My father was a grill cook down in Georgia, Cookin’ eggs for pert near everyone" Ha ha ha! "Pert near"! This is so funny, Mark. You made my morning. I knew the melody and sang along immediately. Also, for the picture - all three conversations were excellent! But I have to say the guy who brought the peanut butter crackers is my kind of guy. Just saying. Nice work!

Loved your take on the great Allman Brothers song!

I’m going to be singing “Scramblin’ Man” all day now, ha! Too funny. I enjoyed all three conversations, but the first one was my favorite. The peanut butter crackers line gave me a good laugh! 🤣
