Want to know something kind of embarrassing to put on the internet? When I mountain bike, I pretend I'm in a  scene out of The Hunger Games or LOST, and I pedal as fast as I can. It might look like normal trail riding, but in my head, I am launching off of boulders over imaginary alligator pits, escaping from villains, and leading Scout up and over ridge lines to safety. Oh, and making it to my truck in time to drive away from the massive, slow-motion explosion that happens in every other scene in Die Hard 4.  

Want to know why my brain works like this?

10. High Fives 
They are great for accomplishments or for no reason at all! The harder the better.

9. Maroon puffy jackets are the team uniform. Magenta raincoats will suffice too.

8. Because Wheelie Creative kind of sounds like Really Creative... only better.

7. There are bike parts in the logo
I don't know a person who didn't love bombing down the biggest hill in town on their bike when they were a kid, no brakes. We still feel that way.

6. The Rooftop Patio 
 Life is much gloomier when you don't have your own personal sun portal. Watch out for water balloon air raids!

5. Field Trips 
Every now and then you need a good urban assault.

4. Scout Action 
He's a dog, whose middle name is "Action." He is also always smiling.

3. Tests 
You may or may not qualify for the NFL. Squats for days.

2. Cake Breaks
It could be cake (or anything disguised as cake), and when someone screams "CAKE BREAK!" you have to drop whatever you are doing and eat it. No exceptions.

1. Because it is so much fun, it doesn't feel like work at all.

Today, was excellent.

It was one of those days that mattered, one that will go down in the books as damn nearly perfect, and one that reinforced the love I have toward my life and the people in it. 

The best part about today was that nothing especially extraordinary happened.
