Serves you right for clamping your beer in your crotch. Sudden hydraulic loss of stabilization. <edit> Yah, the Hindenburg thing caught my attention. Each generation has its archetypes, maybe. Do modern kids have a Saint Whatever?

Lie in the grass and check it out - you can really feel your shoulders being drawn to the center, pulled inward, glommed on to the surface... I have a favourite place to do this.... to lie in the long grass looking up at the blue sky and the clouds drifting by...knowing that there are stars shining everywhere if I could see them. Feeling the earth spinning. Watching a little milkweed seed parachute flying across my line of vision... defying the pull as it contemplates drifting off into space. This massive sphere of energy with all of us walking around on it, driving cars on it. With only gravity preventing us from flying off into the stars. When I lie in the grass thinking about it... the excitement and that feeling of the power beneath me makes me laugh... Interesting to hear someone else mention it... Croc

This was very interesting, indeed. What made it even more interesting was the fact that it was entitled, "Wedding Report." I had to sleep on it, but when I woke up, it occurred to me that it might, in fact, actually be your report of what you saw at the wedding. Mindful of your review of "Star Wars I" and all. BTW, took the kids to see Star Wars I last night. Nick saw it Sunday night with his grandmother, and told us it was the greatest movie of all time. I had read the reviews, understood it was pitched at kids his age, so wasn't expecting much. Ben also really liked it, and Nick was happy to see it again. I got nothing out of it. At all. I mean, in the sense of emotional involvement, or stimulation of the sense of wonder. It is well made.
