Up For It

JAMES FALLON IN AMERICA
On a long-planned tour.
Driving west in a truck.
Enjoying himself. Not looking for trouble
But trouble often has its own agenda.
Captain Sullivan aimed a broad smile at Fallon and broke the silence. "I did a little reading about you, Mr. Fallon. An interesting life you lead."
"It has its moments," Fallon returned the smile. "But don't believe everything. As someone once put it: 'Life often reads better than it lives.'"
"You're here on a tourist visa?" Sullivan held up Fallon's passport.
"Yes, that's right."
"And inside three weeks of arriving in the United States, you take a combat pistol shooting course at the American Pistol Institute in Arizona. Three weeks later, you go on to shoot three men dead in Colorado. Any comments?"
And so a vacation becomes a mission.
