That Was The Best Ride Ever!

(The title to the post is an inside joke for some old friends.)

It's almost 1a and I'm up. I know I shouldn't be, but I am. I had a long day at work then went to Jersey to meet some friends I haven't seen in way too long for dinner. On the way, I got caught in traffic behind a car fire and was 20 minutes late. At dinner, one of my friends said she checks this website pretty frequently and mentioned I hadn't written anything in a while.

I was shocked. Mostly I was kinda proud of myself to be writing something someone would want to read, even if they were already a good friend. But mostly shocked. After dinner, I went to the VFW to shoot darts in my league Quarterfinals with a bunch of other buddies that since the move I only get to see that night. We won 3-1. The semi-finals are next week. Wish us luck.

In case you were wondering, yes, there is a point to this. Even though I can barely hold my head up right now it was a great day- and it reminded me of a great quote from I movie I only recently watched again after having gone ten years or so without watching it:

"You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster. Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride! I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it."

I like the roller coaster too.

(Bonus points if anyone can guess the movie- and since I watched it with Katie sorry darlin', you can't "guess"...)

Good Night.
