I apologize now for the nature of this blog post. It is not like my other posts, but I feel like yelling from the top of a mountain! The only problem is I live in FL where there are no mountains, so all who follow me will have to put up with this.
I was minding my own business at the neighborhood bar last Friday, and my life made a dramatic change for the better. I was supposed to go watch a friend's band play around 9pm, and decided to pre-game first with some Seven & 7s. One thing led to another, and I didn't feel like driving, so I decided to skip the band and hang out longer. Good thing I stayed till Last Call.
As the lights came on, I saw an old flame sitting across the bar from me. I haven't seen, emailed, or carrier-pigeoned this person in over 25yrs! The circumstances of our original break-up have been clouded by time, with both of us thinking it was due to the other person. The amazing thing was the instant recognition we both shared. You read or hear about chemistry or electricity filling the air, heck, you might have even experienced it once or twice in your life. I can say that having all the life experiences that I've had in my short 42 years on this planet now, I thought I had experienced it once before too. If I did, that past electricity is equivalent to a hearing aid battery, and after this weekend, I can say I've been revived with an external defibrillator!
I am one happy Mango at the moment.

Congratulations. Everybody should have at least on experience like this in their life. I am very happy that you were fortunate to have one.
On an entirely different note, just becuase thats the way I am, i was riding my mt. bike with the usual suspects two weeks back. WE were coming down canyon (we climb and drop about 800' on this trail). Jon met a biker coming up trail and grabbed a handful of brakes and went over the bars, resulting in 3 fractured vertebrae in his neck! All said, I'll still take the mountain over not having one when you want it!
