Against the Tide


 Once I had a school assignment to create an imaginary island. I didn't know where to start. My dad was the parent who helped on science projects and geography. We did a science fair project about osmosis. I don't remember the scientific principle, but I carry a torch for scientific glassware. My dad's idea for the imaginary island was to have all of the place names be words spelled backwards. Inspired. Then he came up with a name for the island and it was shocking and funny. Could I really to go to school with an island named TRAF?  A tantalizing invitation to cross a line. I suspect that my mom drew the line.
