Magic Moments



I try not to be the creepy old guy with the camera, taking pictures of the young guys on the skateboards or bikes.  But I am fascinated with capturing the magic moments, the board and rider in mid air, he landed the jump and rolled off.  I never did anything like that, I was a bit of a clutz.

So a Sunday Five on Magic Moments. 

1: When was the last time a scenic view took your breath away? 
2: When was the last time you bumped into someone famous? 
3: What was the last sound that made you stop and listen? 
4: When was the last time you found yourself dancing? 
5: Which is more important, the number of year in your life, the amount of life in your years? 

My Answers:
1: When was the last time a scenic view took your breath away? Cliffs overlooking the Pacific in California last month - I will post pictures soon. 
2: When was the last time you bumped into someone famous? 
Last month at baggage drop at the airport, I looked up, and all I could say was, "good afternoon Senator!"  Bill Nelson from Florida was ahead of me in the line, I think he enjoyed being recognized. 
3: What was the last sound that made you stop and listen? 
The surf rattling rocks against one another on the pacific coast. 
4: When was the last time you found yourself dancing? 
One afternoon last week, I had finished a big project in my office, with music playing the background and stood up and found my body moving to the music (good thing I keep my office door closed.) 
5: Which is more important, the number of year in your life, the amount of life in your years? Life in my years - moments of experiencing the magic. 

Your answers?

    1. It doesn’t happen often. Probably Lake Geneva about 4 years ago.
    2. Not sure this counts but I saw The Queen drive past in a motorcade recently.
    3. Probably a track I heard playing in a clothes shop. I took out my iPhone and asked it what was playing.
    4. Life in years. Deffo.
