I want it back
Now in the past: one essentially perfect weekend. I keep reliving all the little moments. It was so short, yet packed full of nice, brief experiences; put them all together and it was amazing, and pretty much exactly how I wanted it. The drive to and home from the cruise ship terminal with two hours of no real traffic problems each way. The nifty bridge at Los Angeles harbor. Pictures of leaving the harbor at sundown. Seeing Amy and Kathy again. Seeing Marty and Nicole again. A proliferation of Davids (again). Peter the awesome waiter. Open Bible discussions on friendship and service. Finding and seeing a naturally beautiful spot on the Mexican coastline near Ensenada. Recognizing Meredith from a distance on the top deck, and a view of the city. Wind at the front of the boat with Marty while sailing away. Peter the awesome waiter. Picture of the group also on my camera this year. Making all the girls look good using my spiffy Latin dancing skills. Karaoke duet with Andrew in harmony. Midnight Mexican buffet. Photographing the moon with Jeannie, who looks better in my wind-breaker than I do. Sleeping in on Sunday morning. Three miles of jogging on the promenade deck. Two hours at the rock climbing wall. Dave and Andrew remembering each other from the summer of 1998. Leslie's Europe photo album. Indian curry. Guitar with Marty. Friends and me dominating the second night of Karaoke. Andrew and Leslie singing Summer Nights. "Wait a second, when were you born? :)" Karaoke stranger rapping Eminem's Lose Yourself. Timbani bringing down the house--caught on video. More latin dancing. Late night hot tub with Jeannie. Buying a girl a drink (possibly for the first time ever). Taking over for Carlos the bar piano player. Four hours of sleep. Dropping a CD at a friend's front door on the way home. Yes, tiny little details could have been even better--an omelet station at breakfast for example ;) or a beach in Ensenada to play frisbee, but realistically, did all this just happen in such a short space of time? Somebody pinch me.
