Wow, Peter. What an amazing list! And such an wonderful look into the psyche of an adolescent boy. Gail is right, you are one of a kind. Speaking of adolescence, here's an adolescent moment I wrote about in a writing class a few years back that seemed appropriate to the discussion. (Sorry for using 'rushed' twice, Larry.) Hot air rushed in the open windows as the stark desert landscape rushed by, the tall saguaros clicking by like rails on a fence. The wind whipped at my wet hair, its warmth spreading throughout my body and into my mood. My bathing suit felt cool against my tanned skin, and when I closed my eyes, I could still see the sparkle of the sun on the water, and feel its hot rays burning down on me. My hair smelled of lake water, and I remembered its cool, murky depths. I snuggled into the wet cotton towel that protected my back and legs from the sticky vinyl surface of the car seat. My shoulder brushed against the sunburned shoulder of my friend, Mary Lou. The car was crowded with teens, boys and girls together, all of us lazy after a day of laughing and flirting in the sun. The faint refrain of a song floated over the roar of the wind, “So happy to-ge-ther”. A feeling of belonging washed over me. I was a part of the group and we were on the road together. Time was suspended. The warmth of this moment was all that mattered.
