For starters, how about you give me a lift to ? It's just one jump away from here I can mark it on your map."` ` "Well," he says, "I've got a spot reserved in a retirement home, but I don't mind taking a roundabout way to get there. ` "Sorry, I'd rather figure things out on my own."` ` "Sure, where are you trying to get to?"` "Say, any chance I could hitch a ride with you, maybe show you the ropes, give you some pointers?
