you've read "the giver" right?

i made a memory today. i'm going to use it in february when i want to be 1000 miles away from new haven, in the middle of the broad river on a small craft with the mid-day sun beating down on my not-quite-tan-enough arms. i'll be holding on to the bow line, absorbing the gentle pounding of the waves as we skirt along toward the old rail-road trestle, looking for loggerheads, manatees, and hammerheads :)
