ABOUT ME
I have come to realize that the
things that mean the most in life,
are the simple things. There is
nothing better than going wheeling
in the Jeep all day, then going
back to the campsite, building a
fire, grilling some steaks,
kicking back with a few beers and
laughing with friends until the
sun comes up.

Yesterday afternoon I decided that I would go down to
Broadway at the Beach and enjoy some shopping. While
wandering about the strip, I stopped at the IMAX
theater to see what was playing. The next show to be
on (in 15 minutes) was "Monsters of the Sea" in
3D....so I payed my $13 and went in. From the time the
movie started, I was amazed at the 3D effects. The so
called prehistoric monsters would not only come out of
the screen to look you in the face, they would swim
past your head, as if to actually brush you on
occasion. It was one of the best IMAX films that I
have seen.
The show was over at 2145 and the "famous" Broadway
Fireworks were set to start at 2200. Never having
witnessed this "must see" before, I found me a spot
right next to the railing that surrounds the lake. As I
stood there wishing that time would hurry up because I
had other things I wanted to do, I noticed something
that I really haven't paid attention to before. When
children are waiting for something such as these
fireworks to start, they are filled with such
anticipation....you can see it in their faces. They
rarely take their eyes off of the spot that they know
the show will come from, and if so it is only to ask,
"how much longer". But as I looked around I saw many
senior citizens that were smiling and pointing to where
the fireworks would come from....with almost that same
child-like glem in their eyes. One pair inparticular
caught my attention more than the rest. The couple
looked like they were well into their eighties, and as
I watched them assist each other I wondered what their
life was like, and the dread of getting old crept into
my mind. While I stood there watching them and
imagining what I would look like when I get that age,
the elderly gentleman stood up and walked right toward
me. He came up to the garbage can that was just to the
left of me and threw some papers in it, but as he did,
he looked at me, smiled, said hello and then looked up
in the sky and said, "isn't this the most beautiful
evening"? I nodded my head and replied, "yes it
is"...but in the next second I realized that it wasn't
a clear night at all...as a matter of fact, it had been
raining all day and the clouds were ready to burst open
at any time, drenching us all. I watched him as he
walked away, but he didn't return to his seat. I
noticed that his frail companion was looking around for
him and at one time it seemed like she was almost in
panic because she couldn't see him. After about five
minutes, the old gentleman returned, this time holding
two ice cream cones. The look on the face of the lady
was priceless and I saw her wipe the tears from her
eyes. I had to wonder whether it was because she had
become afraid when she couldn't see him or was it
perhaps their first date from 50 yars ago that he had
just recreated....I will never know. Just as he took
his seat, the fireworks started. Never have I ever
witnessed such an incredible display of fireworks so
closely. It was breathtaking. During the final
seconds when the explosions were great and the smoke
was heavy, I once again glanced at the elderly couple.
I saw the man lean over and with the napkin that he was
holding, wipe a small spot of ice cream from the ladies
cheek. Then they both just smiled at each other and
went back to watching the show. When it was over they
both clapped as if they were at a musical production in
New York City.
I walked away feeling happy inside. That elderly
couple made me realize that getting older isn't
something that we have to fear, but that it is a time
when we can enjoy life again. It's the years between
college and retirement that we forget how to live. ...

nervous and that's natural,
especially in that area. I dunno,
it's just super creepy. Did you
ever come in contact with someone
and get a bad vibe about them like
you could easily see them ending
up on the news as being a serial
rapist or something? It's like
that. |
