On the meridian of time, there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama.

I can fly!

The bruises along the seams of my inner thigh are well worth it, oh yes, worth every sore inch. While other people's turns came and went, I was allowed to bounce and bounce and bounce and flip and bounce and flip... I learned that it takes a 140-pound cowboy dangling from my legs to give me the momentum to flip. I learned that if you pull on the bungee cords at the right times, you can slightly increase your jump height. I also learned that closing your eyes, letting your body go as limp as a ragdoll, and throwing back your head and arms makes you feel completely weightless.

When we arrived at the BBQ FunFest at the Agricenter, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I certainly didn't expect to be sucking down yucca-juice as Charming Illy stood over me, to watch El Presidente sashay to "Elvira," to have WickedTribe generously try to maximize my shirt's low-cut neckline, or to be do-sa-do'd and flung into multiple people on multiple occasions. Once again proving that my coworkers are a riot. :)

I knew I'd have a blast once I got over the urge to run away from so many new people, and I'm even happier to know that Aaron had just as much fun.

Oh! I feel like I've spent an entire week skiing! As the 140 lb cowboy, who also had to tug on my ankles to get me high enough in the air to do backflips, commented as he undid my bindings after my fifteen minutes of drunken bouncing, "I bet you feel like you've just had rough sex!" Yes, yes in fact I do . . .

Just please tell me the 140-lb cowboy isn't who I think it is...
