Riders and Sharks
She arrived ridiculously early in the morning. We, the crazy flag-waving family, were there to hug her to pieces. She was smart to wear her kevlar vest. I hope the dents we left in her will smooth out.
In other news, we met her boyfriend and I saw a shark. I wish I could include the video of me actually seeing the shark, because it is so damn funny (in addition to being fodder for the nightmares of years to come). You will have to just imagine it, gentle reader. We were standing on the beach, looking off into the beautiful horizon. Then my sister's boyfriend (we're going to start calling him "Fire Marshal," I think) jumped up and said something along the lines of "Holy crap, I just saw a shark." Now, he knows of my irrational fears (sharks and styrophobia), so I thought he was just messing with me. The video began the moment this southern fellow was saying, "Ah swear to you. May ah never walk another day..." And my face was all like, "Yeah, right," as I'm looking out to sea, and then my eyes went wide, my face went white, and I started screaming and running back to New York.
Gray ugly body and craggy fin, folks. In fact, it looked a whole lot like this:
Okay, I'm exaggerating slightly. But imagine, gentle reader, that you are on a sightseeing tour with your family, and a creature that inhabits your nightmares suddenly springs from the depths. Wouldn't you wig? Of course, I not only wigged, I clawed my way over the top of my family to get the hell out of there. Simple truth about Trants: I would rescue you from a burning building. I would crawl on all fours through shards of broken glass for you. But if we meet up with a shark, you are on your own.
My dad is convinced that it was a dolphin, but FireMarsh had a better look at it than I did, and he says shark. Plus, dolphins don't have bloody teeth. My sense of poetic justice demands that it be so. So 2006 starts out with the gift of Rider, and a warning from the deep blue sea.
And I am SO listening.
* In the interest of accuracy in reporting (even though I've never laid claim to such nonsense), I should tell you that the shark probably looked more like this:

It would appear that Rider has a very alert boyfriend. You could have been consumed by the “evil menace of the deep”. Good thing he was not sitting in some beachside bar eating shrimp and having a beer? Wait a minute…
