Honestly there is so much wrong with that opener. I wrote it as if other people were reading this, which of course, they are not. Which I why I can write sentences like this: I toss pears over my right shoulder for good luck.
The other thing that is wrong with that opener is the "noticed seagulls" line. Who hasn't noticed seagulls? Perhaps not everyone, but of course I have. They are birds and they are everywhere. Here's some footage from the ferry today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8uamSGgRqE
Anyway, in all seriousness, it was neat looking at the gulls around the ferry today. Some of them were fighting with each other, others were looking for food scraps and others just looked content to fly around the ferry. In the context of the book by Richard Bach, which I HIGHLY recommend, these gulls acted the way I would expect them to. The line from that book that stuck out to me today was, "Here were gulls that thought like I thought." To me, Jonathan had found like-minded gulls; gulls that were working on themselves to be the best they could be. Anyway, I won't spoil the book. Watching the gulls was encouraging especially given where I am in life today and the things I'm trying to do.
