Gee! What a year!
This was the year that will go down as the year that I first dove off a high dive at my old overnight camp. I hadn't been there in years; I just had to drive up there and do it. I never would've done that back when I was in camp. But I've changed. I'm older. More aware. It would've been nice to do it in the summer, but then everyone would've been there and watching me, so it really hurt to dive in freezing cold water.
I think it hurt more because it reminded me of overnight camp, but I landed poorly too.
