"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined." Henry David Thoreau. A short story of three old men taking Thoreau's advice to the next level. After fighting the Japanese and Germans in World War II, they spent the next 40 years working to provide for their families. After 15 years of retirement, circumstances lead them to purchase a local restaurant at a tax sale. It is the first time in their lives they will be required to take a shower before going to work. These guys have not always done what's required of them.
