Billy always loved the boardwalk, and Bruce loved to make Billy happy.  Bruce made plans to bring Billy to the Wildwood boardwalk.  They would ride some of the amusements, and play some of the arcade games.  

    The night before, Bruce was in a motorcycle accident.  He lost most of the skin on his right forearm, and on his shoulder.  It stung all the time.  Bruce also suffered from a couple of cracked ribs.  It's not known how many because Bruce never went to the hospital.  The last time he went to the hospital, the doctor took an x-ray of his back, and told him he should retire, and should be on social security.  Bruce had sustained many injuries by his 41st birthday.  

    At 10:00 am, just as he promised, Bruce picked Billy up to go to the boardwalk.  They walked around for a while, and they played some games.

    The arcade cabinets were pretty tall, and Billy couldn't quite reach them.  When Billy played on his Nintendo at home, he didn't have to worry about this, as he would normally sit on a chair or on the floor to play.  

    Bruce helped Billy up, all 80 pounds of him, cracked ribs and all.  When Bruce picked up Billy, he winced.  When Billy asked why, Bruce said it was just a minor training accident.  
   
    Billy played a few more games until he realized how much pain his father was in.  Bruce never complained.  He just told Billy that he loved him, that he was sorry that he broke plans with him the week before, and he was very happy to be with his son.
