Goofy Foot

Excerpt:

"You can see like that into people sometimes," Red Dog said, "past the social smoke screen, straight to the core. It’s ..." He waved a hand, looking for words. "Goofy foot."

"The name of your boat?"

He frowned a moment, then seemed to find inspiration. He rose and pointed to the deck. "That’s a surfboard. How would you stand on it?"

Feeling I was humoring him, I stood. I set one foot ahead of the other on the floor. He nodded. "Right foot forward. It’s the surf equivalent of being left-handed. Goofy foot. The term also means how you sometimes get the intuitive stuff ... inklings."

"What do your inklings tell you?" I asked.

He hesitated. "They tell me you’ve got trouble."
