Wise Men Never Put Off for Tomorrow 

I’d always wanted to travel, so when I got the opportunity to work on a project in Europe, I jumped at the chance. I packed my bags and said goodbye. Not knowing when I would be back.

I arrived in Italy and started my work right away. I met a lot of new people but one person in particular caught my eye. I met her at a bistro. She was a server. Her name was Sophia, and she was drop-dead gorgeous.&nbsp;

We didn't have to. I wasn't too bad looking back then. So I could tell she was interested in me by the way she would smile and stare every time I came in. Of course, I wanted nothing more than to take her out and paint the town red.

But as fate would have it, I was already married with a daughter and one on the way at the time.

So we just flirted back and forth. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife. I draw her pretty flowers on the napkin and she’d drop me a word or two on the napkin the next time I came in. If I’d stayed in the country much longer I would have taken her out and back to my little flat.&nbsp;

After a few months, my wife called and said she needed me back home, my daughter wasn't well. So, of course, like any good father, I packed up and headed home without ever saying goodbye to Sophia.

I often find myself thinking of that sweet apricot aroma in the diner and that fire in her eyes.

Every day I wish I would have made the move.&nbsp;

As it turns out, my wife was having an affair of her own with the neighbor across the street. Old Bony Bob. His wife found out before I did, and that lady went berserk and smashed out my wife's car windows.&nbsp;

When I arrived back home I found my daughter in great health. Not a thing wrong with her. She gave me divorce papers and took off with Bony Bob and my daughter. Some place up north. Never heard from her again.&nbsp;

Word to the wise. Do what makes you happy today. That’s how I live, and I love every second.&nbsp;
