bang boom pow - Wonder Boy
sometimes we wonder about that boy
my first dock with Todd O
Wednesday, September 13, 2000

It was funny
we freefly the exit
stay close all the way down the hill
eye contact all the way
big smiles all around
I fly up to him
his eyes are big and he's smiling
he's nodding his head
I can tell he is pleased with my flying
he sticks out a hand
I go to stick mine out and it catches air
starts to push me back
I pull my hand back
correct my body position
I fly right in front of him and stop
he laughs and sticks his hand out again
I seem to have forgotten all I learned on my belly
don't reach for the grip, fly to it.
I am very excited that I am flying so well
I want very much to take the grip
I fly in close and then with jack rabbit speed
reach out and slap his hand
then I go right back to my neutral position
flying front and center
Todd is laughing and laughing
shakes his head and extends his hand again
we repeat this entire sequence once more
then it's time to go
the next dive went better...
