Come on, Lady Luck. Although he usually calls her Lady Bounty when he's rolling dice. Today's not for that, though; it's for footwork. And since he wouldn't ask Elaine to do anything he's not prepared to do, he puts himself through the paces, one foot at a time through the tires.
Just like football practice.
It's hard work. After a half-dozen or so times going through it, he sits down, his back against a tree, pillows and water and jump ropes at his side, the sun bright and warm, the lake placid. Elaine knows to show up here sooner or later.
