Jun. 23rd, 2003 02:48 pmI actually left the house today. Took Katie over to a neighborhood park, all high tech and shite. Had LOTS of fun playing around with her.
High Lights:
She's not so sure about the slides, though she likes the slides at Gymberee. Maybe its the lack of a fleece blanket to ride on.
Swings...A GOOD thing. She was spooked at first, like she is with any new inner ear type change, but smiled and giggled right away. Defiantly my child.
I love swings. The sensation of flying and free fall and hanging with your head down on the backward swing and jumping off at the high point (Apex?) of the forward swing and running off as the swing arches to the ground. Did I mention I like swing?
All of which reminded me of other fun things I have done in my life...
Singing tone deaf arias in the amphitheater in Golden Gate(I am sure one of you theater folk will correct me on that one. = ]). Trying to light a fire at the top of Stow Lake's island. Trying to sneak into the Japanese Tea Garden to see what the full moon looked like inside when the President was having a fundraiser next door at the De Young Museum.
Spending many nights discovering the joys and secrets of Golden Gate, like a horse show place that had a white wooden horse recessed into the hill side. We never did find that one again.
Wandering the skeletal structure that would become Moscone Center. Looking at the streets and stars from too many roof tops to accurately number.
Sneaking in the Legion of Honor whilst it was being retro fitted. Discovering human remains in said Legion of Honor. (They were skeletal and obviously were intended and expected to be there.)
Walking around Foster City/San Mateo/Belmont in the middle of the night or when ever we felt like it. Playing with shadows in church courtyards. Having many polite conversations with Police Officers as they check for any Warrants on our records when stopped for walking around in t he middle of the night or playing with shadows in church court yards.
And the best of the whole thing was less than half the time involved acid or any other illegal or legal drugs.
