Miss Kitty, that was a night to remember (good lord I look like a veritable embodiment of Merman's favorite band of old, T
angerine Dream!!) but there's another SoWal photo that makes me smile even more because of all the good things that followed it. It's a picture of the back of your head, and you're wearing a hat with a SoWal sticker that Smiley J slapped on it (if I remember correctly) and you're sitting on a kayak in Western Lake only moments before you took your first dip.

I love it because neither you nor I had ever been on a kayak before and it was a big adventure--and a big leap of faith to even try it!!--and it was the start of so many more perfect and madcap SoWal adventures. That was nearly three years ago and the funn has never stopped.

And if I weren't a computer-illiterate you know I'd post the photo, though I know you exactly which one I'm talking about!
