THE PRINCESS PATH
 I knew it was coming, but there was nothing I could do about it. Like being in the eye of the storm. And you would think I would know better by now. After all, I had been doing this for so many years. But some things do not get better with practice or with the passage of time. And though I fought conscious awareness as hard as I could, it was no use. I sleepily opened one eye to see the digital clock reading. Even though it was still dark, I knew that in a few hours I had to get up take my princess Kimberly to the airport to fly back west. And so, in resignation and surrender, I just continued laying in bed and started thinking about The Princess Path (and no more late night Kwai Chang Caine (David Carradine)  Kung Fu reruns for me).
