The best of times

Post the best times, and not the worst.

Easy. 2330 is the best of times. It's when the whole family curls up on the couch to eat popcorn and watch Inuyasha.

Ps. My experience with the nonconstipated hippo was right up there, too, but I'd never tell Him that.

sentimental claptrap

Holding my newborn and nursing her;

Looking into her eyes for the first time and knowing that we are eternally bound to each other;

Weeping for joy;

Overwhelmed by the magnitude of the future before us.

THE best ...

... was when someone I didn't know asked me to autograph their copy of my book.

I worked as a teacher at a school. During a break in my teaching schedule, I sat in the computer room, playing around, passing time until my next lesson. This boy I know, a tough but very sweet little 11-year-old, came in, tears in his eyes, looking for nother teacher. I asked him what was wrong. He explained that he had been having some problems with math, and another boy in class had teased him about it, and when he hit that boy, the teacher saw that, and threw him out of the classroom. He wasn't any good at math, the others always laughed at him...
I told him to come over to a table in the room, and have math with me. I taught him a special dividing trick I had learned in school, which makes dividing calculations much easier than the way they are taught nowadays. I made up some math problems for him to solve with this method, and he managed them all. He said what has come to be the nicest words I've ever heard anyone say:

"Aaawww... NOW I get it!"

I made up more and more difficult calculations, and he managed to solve them all.

"Look!" I told him. "I've made REALLY difficult math problems for you, and you've solved ALL of them! Don't ever think you're bad at math!"

The smile I got, still warms my heart.

1. Riding a 10 metre wave.

2. Being catapulted off a carrier.

3. Earholing country lanes on my Beesa.

4. Abseiling a 100 metre drop.

5. Holding the speed record for an assault course.

6. Riding a freshly washed elephant bare-back.

7. Racing my fiancee on horseback cross country.

8. Backpacking in the outback.


Wish I could do them now but the damage from trying to do 1,3 and 4 repeatedly now stops me. I fell off the wave, the bike, and the cliff. Oh yes, and the horse.

It would clearly be a very long plane if the seats are 25000 feet behind the engine. So long, in fact, that it could even be a 7,000 seater.

I would imagine that the pilot has a very long joystick!

Best: Sauntering through the opposition defence after an outrageous sidestep and dummy to the line.
Worst: That tap tackle you didn't see coming landing you face down in the mud 5 metres from the tryline.

Is that worse than having a perfectly good try disallowed because the ref was out of position and couldn't see who touched it down?
