All You Need to Know: THE YOUNG MAN AND THE RIVER

It’s easy to forget about all of the bullshit that plagues our day-to-day existence when we’re surrounded by that much happiness. We become kids at recess – not a care in the world…and those three days every year are our 10 minutes on the schoolyard. Our time to play. Our time to stretch out our legs. Our time to scream for no reason. Our time to call each other “gay” over and over and over again. I don’t know why we do that, but we do.

Terry writes a great piece about his river-rafting trip to 'sconsin. I especially loved the last two paragraphs. Okay, it may be overusing the metaphor just a little to compare "life" to a "river"; but every word is perfect.
