I decided to take a break from grading on Saturday, so my mom and I headed to Gallup Park with digital camera (mine) and digital video camera (hers). It was fun. There's a video of me on a little jetty trying to stay upright in the wind while wrestling with the articles in my huge bag to unearth my camera. My mom thought I was a little mad to be braving the wind that close to the water. There were moments when I felt the wind shoving hard, but I didn't get blown over.
I made a little speech for my brother who's a Halloween baby, but I believe he'll only be able to see my mouth moving on the video. The wind was so loud it drowned out my voice, so you can hear snippets like, "...and...tennis...BMW...I...you...great...football game...pages of...crap..."
After a while, I gave up grading papers on the bench. What would I do if one of them flew into the water? I'd never forgive myself, and neither would the poor student. My mom went for a stroll on her own and I retreated to the White Rabbit to read more pages.
Blow, wind, blow.
