So good to hear from you! You are such ...CARRIE!!! So good to hear from you!<BR/> <BR/>You are such a good judge of peoples...I am in fact a pulp hater. You and I must have been separated at birth. And I appreciate you not tarnishing this friendly blog with the use of the "m" word. <BR/><BR/>And since I am here...I too have been for a ride in a hot air balloon. Max will tell you it was the happiest day in his life. My uncle was piloting his balloon for a balloon festival that was located on the university campus. I had been married less than a year and we lived in a duplex on campus. So very early on a chilly Saturday morning I walked over to the campus mall and watched them get the balloons set up. Part of the balloon launch was associated with a charity auction in which people could bid on balloon rides. Often times what would happen is that they would get the balloons ready to fly but the winning bidder would choose to stay in bed and not claim the ride they had purchased. <BR/><BR/>And so it goes with my turn in a hot air balloon. I showed up and the bidder did not, and I was told to hop in the basket at the very last minute.<BR/><BR/>We flew right over my little house where Max was sleeping peacefully. <BR/><BR/>How was this the best day of his life?<BR/><BR/>Well, you see, I was an early riser. And I didn't like to be alone. So most weekends I would wake him up (too) early and make him hang out...when he would have rather slept in. <BR/><BR/>So on this particular morning he slept and slept and slept. Completely oblivious to my adventurous morning.<BR/><BR/>It was a win-win situation, and neither of us will ever forget it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469891836497620052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-7217161569876345402007-03-16T10:44:00.000-04:002007-03-16T10:44:00.000-04:00which side of the OJ fence do you land on? conside...which side of the OJ fence do you land on? considering our mutual affinity for mustard and hatred of m**o (i can't even say it), i would guess that you're a pulp hater. but i could be wrong; it's happened before!cdubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02414254159519939445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-77935265702236307322007-03-15T21:16:00.000-04:002007-03-15T21:16:00.000-04:00No, never, nowhere, Yes.

I must say I enjoyed crewing and chasing much more than riding in the balloon...riding was a little boring even if we did land in a field full of Texas Long Horns :0 !! I would love to make it to Albequrque (sp?) and crew and ride there I'm sure the views their are breath taking!Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18314272552061375917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14425061.post-21869786729853266592007-03-15T12:24:00.000-04:002007-03-15T12:24:00.000-04:00I'm so glad you guys are getting settled in.

My one and only time in a hot air balloon was when MY sweet "Mister" proposed one beautiful October morning outside of Austin TX. I highly recommend it (both the proposal AND the ride. I hope to someday get to ride in one again.Blue Skieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706351585417654791noreply@blogger.com
