Okay, so I had a God moment yesterday and it was one that I did not want to recieve!! Jennifer and I had opportunity to spend an entire afternoon at Kings Island. We have gone many times this year but ALWAYS with the kids. While we love our time with Caleb and Lauren, it means we live in "kiddie land". We would walk near the "big people rides" and just wish. So, with our dreams in hand, we hit the park about 12:30 ready to ride every coaster at least 10 times!
We started with Top Gun and then went to the forward racer! What's this, my stomach is turning, I feel sick? Must be the heat! We then went to Vortex! Oh man, I am feeling dizzy and well could I actually throw up? Must be the heat! We "rested" for a few minutes and then went the THE BEAST!!!!! I am not sure at this point, I can make it, oh no, would I actually throw up in the final two tunnels? What is going on with me? Could it be lunch? NO! It must be the heat! We then sat down and had a big cup of Lemonaid! Now, we are ready. We rode Flight of Fear!!! AWESOME! It is inside, we waited in air conditioning! The ride is really cool in action and temp. Won't get sick now! NO! What is this! UGgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! NO! Could it be? Sick again! Now, I never did throw up, but I got a terrible "pre-vomit" feeling even on this ride! Okay, it had to be lunch! Just to be safe, we better ride the Merry-go-round! Okay, no sickness on that one and yes, my horse beat Jen's, it ended higher than hers!!!! Finally, must ride FACE OFF! Awesome ride, that ride scares me to death! End result, SICK AGAIN! Must be the heat!!!!
Folks, the God revelation to me yesterday was simply....YOU ARE NOT AS YOUNG AS YOU USED TO BE! It wasn't the heat, it wasn't lunch, it wasn't the ride's fault! I am just a 37-year old man with grey in my hair who is not in good shape and simply, not as young as he used to be! For the record, my lovely wife, had the same experience! What next??? KIDDIE LAND, here we come!!!!!!!!!!
B. Out!!
