Things of Import

Earlier today I took a walk in the snow. I was using the excuse of returning a rented movie to ascertain whether the roads were drivable or not. Or at the very least to see if I wanted to make them drivable. See I had been invited to dinner at my cousins house with not just him and his family but also Aunts, Uncles, other cousins, brothers, sister-in-laws, and friends. All that versus the stress of driving on snow laden streets, the possibility of getting stuck behind a plow going twenty five, or heaven forbid losing control and crashing my car on the side of a cold, dark, wet road.

Unfortunately since I totaled my car two years ago I avoid driving in snow whenever I can. So eventually I came to the decision to play it safe and not go anywhere this evening. As a consolation indulgence I decided to make a quick stop at my local Dunkin' Donuts and enjoy my favorite; a half hazelnut-half hot chocolate mix. Truly a drink of the gods. As I walked home, I had to laugh at how truly New England I have become. Walking on the side of the road in the middle of a snow storm with a DD's coffee cup in my hand. Feeling slightly better I started thinking about changing my Facebook status to reflect my feelings about hot drinks at that moment. Then I got home. And made the call to say I wasn't going to brave the roads.

Suddenly that drink seemed a paltry consolation. All this to say, I like my family, immediate, extended, and even honorary. And coffee, no matter how good it may be is never even a close comparison.

Skydiving ! (Sort of)

Into the Tunnel of wind dove the five brave ones.
Instructor to the right of them,
Instructor to the left of them,
Instructor dancing a ballet,
Keeping us afloat.

Whirring fans, howling winds,
Plastic walls enclosing,
With helmets sitting on their heads
Into the Tunnel of Wind dove the five brave ones.

I'd try and write more but I've found when I try to force inspiration, it comes across as exactly that, forced. Unfortunately I've already used up this day so any further description will have to once more wait for another time.

Flying High!

So I just got back from air surfing with a couple of friends just a few minutes ago. It was a total blast! Even though we weren't allowed to take camera's in with us, the company took them and so we got a couple. I won't give a long detailed report now, but here are two pictures to give an idea.




Even though I'm still not sure about actual skydiving, I will without a doubt be going back here.
