Little Love for Verona
... I encountered such RUDE service, especially in McDonald's. Once again "Boungiorno" The girl at the cash almost immediately turns her back on me to rearrange some burgers. I stand there, surprised, thinking okay...I know she saw me even if she didn't hear me. When she turned back around, that look on her face "disinterested, snooty to a point, nose in the air, "what the bleep do you want" air" just had me throw up my hands, turn around and walk out.

A pleasant walk

Falling through the clouds
... that we were fully up into the air and ready to go, little did we know we weren't even close.
When we reached how high up we were going to go he harnessed me in and made sure everything was secure. As soon as the camera man opened the door, I immediately had the biggest adrenaline rush I think I have ever had. My feet, Sperry's and all were dangling over the plane for what felt like 5 minutes, but was actually only seconds before I leapt out into the ...
