Miller at Night

I wrote two whole paragraphs on the rope swing a friend took me to last night, and when I went to go to preview, blip sent me back to the upload page...must have taken too long to write it...

Basically, there's a rope swing a few miles from Colby. I had never been there, until last night, when my friend Kevin and his younger siblings came up to visit. His brother and sister are interviewing at Colby tomorrow, so he decided to take them--and me--out to the rope swing tonight. It was an amazing experience--the terror of pushing off the ladder or the platform and into the near-darkness, the exhilleration of swinging out over the river, the long drop into the river, and finally, the perfectly cool water catching you at the bottom. The drop was always about a second longer than you expected, which made the crash into the water a bit jarring, but the water was about body temperature and breaking ripples in the smooth glassy water was a peaceful contrast to the adrenaline rush of jumping.

I so wish I'd brought my camera--capturing the jump with a flash would have been sooo cool. I guess I'll have to go again!
