I've been finding myself in situations much like this one lately.

Anyone else able to sympathize with this little guy?

One time, I found a wild manatee.

At first I thought I would try and catch it with my net but it was too big. So, instead I climbed up on its back and proceeded to ride it around the ocean for a while. Good times being a kid.

Now that classes are winding down I'll actually have time to work on side projects. I think I might continue to put fading memories down on paper like this. However I did find it challenging, especially when translating a memory from childhood. When you think back to magical moments from your past, it is really hard to capture exactly what made it so special. I think maybe the magic in this event had something to do with getting a tour of the sea by an endangered species, he was even considerate enough to stay close to the surface!
