The summer Sonny began working at Dualtone Stereo Systems, he worked the day shift. School was out and the living was easy. So by the second week, he had given up the idea of spending his lunchtimes inside listening to the Rolling Stones blaring dangerously loud on the large speaker line stereo and went out to the parking lot where everyone was playing for that half-hour under the sun. Anyways, they had blown the speakers at break-time.
There was tag football, a game of catch, and even horseshoes. But it was the juggling that caught his eyes. Josh Inmon was one of the testers. He was going to school for audio engineering and was spending his summer there on work study. For the most part he kept to himself, unless there was a testing issue. But Sonny had once asked him for a little more technical information about loudspeakers than Bill had given him, which was basically which screws to use for what purposes. And Josh had gladly obliged. Now he wondered about the technicalities of juggling three tennis balls in the air.
“Hey Josh, can you tell me the secret of juggling?” he asked one noontime.
“Space-time.” Josh replied while staring at the balls going ever higher.
Sonny laughed. “No, really.”
“Oh you want me to explain it to you,” Josh chuckled. “Fried tweeter!”
