Short story. A young wannabe mason in Florida tries to find his place in the world but things not always work out as one wishes for. When things don't go one's way, just enjoy the present as is.I was also a wannabe mason in my younger days, out of necessity more than out of vocation. I don't lay brick anymore but I'm still looking for my place in the world. Sometimes I feel that I'm running around with a shovelful of lumpy mud, looking up at the mason gods, wondering when my time will come to climb the scaffolding and be one of the anointed.
