Two good smooth rides last week and no headbanging for the first time ever. All the planets must have been perfectly aligned.....And to top it off, I finally talked Alene into riding it. It had been a standing joke every vacation that I would ask her if she would give it a try. She always said no , never ever, and that it looked too scary. Unexpectedly, this time she said she would try it 'once'. She rode it and surprisingly said she liked it, but she had kept her eyes closed during the entire ride. But she said she wanted to do it again, with her eyes open. So the next day she rode it a second time, and loved it. She had me take a photo of her next to the Hulk statue, with both her arms extended thumbs up. She posted it on her Facebook page and got a ton of likes. As she bragged that she had conquered her fears....And, as a reward, I bought her a Hulk coffee mug at the MSHI comic store. It now sits on her desk at Children's Hospital as a bragging symbol, and a good cup to drink her coffee from.
