Z-A: W

Xavier woke up and pondered his new world. No work. Wobbly woman/wedding issues. Wow.

So Wendy waffled and now Xave was playing the waiting game. This was worrisome, but he decided not to wallow in it. No need to be a wimp or a wailing weasel about it. Sure, it made him wince, (and perhaps some readers as well! -ed.) but the world went on.

Xavier finally decided that for his own well-being, to emerge a winner, he needed a good whack on the head, a change of scenery. He packed a few things, and headed for his wheels, a used Jeep Wrangler (he'd traded in the more costly XTerra, which he now couldn't afford without some windfall).
He just needed some time....Perhaps this was not wise, maybe dead wrong, but he felt pretty wistful about just withdrawing from his worsening world for a while - what'd the Aussies call it? A walkabout...whereabouts unknown!

He always had more than a whit of wanderlust about him. This could be a most worthwhile time, just him and the whole wide, welcoming wilderness out there. The Wrangler whirred to life, and away he went...
