Many of you probably remember the movie “Castaway” with Tom Hanks. In the movie, he is stranded on a deserted tropical isle after the crash of a FedX 747 on which he was riding went down in a storm. One of a few items that survived the crash was a Wilson soccer ball and in his desperate need for companionship, the soccer ball became Wilson, and with the addition of facial features and hair, his non verbal friend and only companion.
Somewhere along the way, we purchased a monster Pamplemous that lived by the fruit basket in the galley while we waited for him to ripen. It was taking an inordinate amount of time and Dar ended up drawing a face on him and named him Wilson 2.
Finally the day came when it was time for Wilson to be carved up for breakfast. Steve was responsible for despatching Wilson (poor fellow).
Now pamplemouse here are just wonderful. Unfortunately, Wilson had the last word. He was absolutely awful.
And like the final scene of Tom Hank’s rescue in the South Pacific, we all watched as Wilson drifted off as the sun set.
