it’s like “Oh, yes! I remember how to do this!” As I lift into the sky, it’s like muscle memory in my body. It feels so familiar and amazing.

But… if I couldn’t have flying, I’d choose to eliminate calories from chocolate and margaritas…

I wish I had powers like Endora on Bewitched - the ability to furnish my house at the snap of my fingers, and to instantly zap myself anywhere in the universe. I also loved it when she flew sitting on the wings of a plane!

Seriously though, if I had any power it would be to go back in time and make sure that Al Gore received about 10,000 more votes in Florida in 2000, and while I'm at it let's also throw in 10,000 more votes in New Hampshire, just to drive the point home.

The feeling of elation was magnificent. I suppose I have been looking to re-create that feeling most of my life. Might explain a few things. As I have aged I no longer have those dreams. Magnificent while it lasted though.
