Fireworks in Lake Tahoe
My friend emailed me about another church retreat to attend in Lake Tahoe for the 4th of July weekend. How am I going to turn that down? $104 food and lodging? I'm down. I arrived a bit but in time to hear most of the message. Then we packed into our cars and headed to the beach to secure a good spot to see the show. Again, those that know me know that I don't care much for fireworks. I guess I've just seen a lot of them. From the ones in downtown San Francisco, to Disneyland to the ones they keep shooting off at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds. I lived right behind the fairgrounds and therefore have become numb to the experience. I have to say fireworks technology has improved greatly since the last I saw it. There were happy faces. Hearts. Cubes. There was even a Saturn. What amazed me the most were the ones that were levitating in midair for maybe 15 seconds while burning. Looked like a flaming hummingbird. It was the most fantastic fireworks show I have ever seen.It's an odd thing about girls and myself. Maybe my desperate vibes are no longer there. I saw a couple of girls from our group I never met and immediately went to introduce myself. One caught my eye and I devoted my attention to her. We talked much as we waited for the sun to set. I had thought she looked very familiar. It turns out I've seen her at a bible study class throughout the year. She played the piano. I always wanted to go up and talk to her but never had the guts to do so. On the beach at a church retreat social, it was much easier to approach her. In my wild fantasy, the thought occurred that she may be interested in me. But eh, what do I know about reading women. Besides I'm not about to split my attention away from my current alignment.
