Jumping Game
Google's summer event was this past week, this time an outing to Canobie Lake Park. It's not too far from Boston, but I'd never been before. It was the first visit to an amusement park for Eris, and she had a grand time riding the kids' rides and the junior roller coaster (which spins you around pretty well for a kids' ride). She especially loved that she got to go on so many rides by herself. Even on the roller coaster, she was very insistent that I not put an arm around her. Of course, the real test of emotional fortitude was waiting in line.
I didn't go on any roller coasters this time. Untamed (a Euro-Fighter coaster) seemed potentially fun, but that drop was really intimidating, even if by objective measures it was probably less intense than some of the roller coasters I was on last year (there's only one drop and while it's really steep, it's really short). I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing rides. The carousel is a historical treasure, built circa 1898 and installed in the park circa 1906, with music provided by a Wurlitzer 153 Band Organ (retrofitted with digital controls). I'm a big fan of that sort of thing.
Otherwise, life is exhausting but generally good. I've been getting in some good cooking. I got a Nintendo Switch at last and started playing Mario Odyssey (which is just gloriously charming and fun; Eris also enjoys playing along with "jumping game"). And I went to see Sorry to Bother You with Julie (Boots Riley's new dystopian satire, equal parts disturbing and hilarious, really great).
