Today my whole schedule is off. So, I'm posting an old post for you to read. I hope you enjoy it. I'll try to post something new later.
Greatest Hits (orignally posted September 2004 @ cogito)
Remember when we were kids? Remember?
Remember the time Tom (or maybe it was you) knocked down the wasp nest and we had to run across the yard and across the church parking lot to escape the wasps? Remember someone got stung (I don’t remember who it was)?
Remember peeking into the girls shower room that night at the state park during the camp out? Remember how you hogged the vent and I hardly got to see? Remember when the guy came around the corner and was, like, “Hey! What are you doing!?” Remember how we ran? Remember how scared we were? Remember how, when we got back to the campfire, we jumped into your raft to hide? Remember how we traded jackets so the guy might not recognize us if he walked by?
Remember sneaking out at night and running to hide from every car that drove by? Remember how Tom was like a ninja and he would jump into a tree and make his arms look like branches? Remember when the cop drove by and I jumped into the pile of leaves to hide, only it wasn’t a pile of leaves but a pile of sheet metal? Remember the loud noise? Remember how all the dogs barked for twenty minutes? Remember how the cop just drove by and looked at me like I was an idiot, laying on my stomach on that pile of metal, laughing my ass off?
Remember trying to shoot the golf ball into the side of the hill behind the church with the water balloon sling shot? Remember two of us holding the sling shot handles while you stretched the rubber bands as far as they would go? Remember how the golf ball missed the hill and kept going into the neighborhood across the street? Remember how it was still going up when we lost sight of it?
Remember scrambling down that same hill years later when the church flooded? Remember how the water was up to our waists when we went in? Remember seeing your car totally under water? Remember how the pews were floating around? Remember the giant storm drain in the back of the church? Remember how the water was over our heads when we went back out? Remember the clumps of fire ants that floated around and swarmed onto anything they touched? Remember how we started across the water about 200 yards from the drain and ended up about 20 yards from the drain when we got to the hill?
Remember all that? Remember that and a million other things? Remember?
That was cool.
Hello, friends. How are you today?
Later. Love.
