It’s funny how some small events seem to stick on your memory forever. You don’t really know why certain things are stubbornly lodged into your memory, but you know not even a brain toothpick could get rid of them.
One of those memories is of me and my friend Brandon riding down a hill on a large board on top of a skateboard. We sat on either side of the large board seesawing it like airplane wings and steering it to the bottom of the hill. What I remember best was the sound the skateboard made as it rolled down the hill. The sound of the wheels on concrete was much louder and deeper than a normal skateboard because the large wooden board seemed to amplify and contain the sound. It really did sound like an airplane taking off.
Anyway, my friend Brandon just sent me a photo I didn’t know existed! That’s my brother Connor in the center.

Great shot. I remember your Skeeters shirt vividly — you must’ve worn that sucker forever.
mom and i think that’s connor, not ben
yes, that’s Connor. I wouldn’t have had that look of terror in my eyes. Plus my hair was never that blond. I specifically remember that board, esp the edge by Brandon.
