* Playing catch football with Jaffe in unknown neighborhood park on a spring afternoon. Children on the playground, couples walking their dogs, everyone was happy to be out of hibernation.
* First ride of the new year at Leslie Nature Area. Zooming down leaf padded forest trails, proudly showing off the splattered mud on me as proof, almost succeeding to ride without hands: we were making the most of a leisurely Sunday.
* Stepping out of Angell Hall at 6 A.M. after another all night death practice, the sky was a deep azure blue with the moon still bright. The city was quiet and asleep except for a few crazies who were up and running already. For a week, I became a day sleeper…seeing how the other half lives.
* Dancemix is over! The sweat, pain, stress and all night practices…over! I delivered! Encore rocked it! The proof is in the pudding a.k.a. youtube. My last one… another chapter of my life closed.
* Attending critical mass with KT for the first time. Riding our bikes in, around, over and throughout downtown, we dominated traffic in a procession fifty man deep. Shouting slogans along the way, our presence invited countless onlookers: some who smiled and took pictures while others glared in curiosity, some honked in support while others in irritation. I couldn’t help smiling and laughing along the way…the way you do when you know you’re the coolest kid in town.
