Peak Brokie experiences
Front-Ranger:
One of my peak moments also involves shooting stars. I had been chatting with rt and Mandy, and I had a wonderful time talking about many things important and trivial. When I finally said a reluctant goodbye to them and left the office I headed for home, driving hard by the hogback of red rocks and the famous amphitheater where I would soon go to see Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. As I made my way up the grade towards my mountain home, two shooting stars plummeted through the inky black sky and I thought of my two dear friends as I watched them fade away.

Yeah, I gotta go with Clarrisa on this one - the Aero theater experience in Santa Monica, and being two rows from the cast and crew. I'm SO not a star-struck person, but it and dinner after was special, special, special. What are we doing for our anniversary, Clarrisa? 8)

When is the anniversary? I think I'm going to both the Denver Memorial Day weekend BBM event, and the Alberta adventure in the summer. You come too! :)

My Peak experence occured this past summer in the Big Horns, just west of Buffalo, Wyoming. It was at a camp fire, with Cowboy Wayne, Oregondoggie and Wyo_men, I believe, and I started hearing for the first time the story compared to the take of christ, hearing it described as one of sacrificae for the redemption of another.
It sent chills.

My peak experience was also to connect to another person over BBM for the first time.
It was when I aked Kerstin (my only RL fellow Brokie) to see BBM for a second time in cinema. Sounds not like much, but hell, was I nervous about it.
Some of you already know it, but for the others: By that time, Kerstin and I didn't know each other well, we hadn't shared private things and didn't know much about each others lifes. It was more by chance that we had seen BBM together for the first time and we hadn't spoken about it afterwards (couldn't, as we learned later).
I thought she would think I'm totally nuts, but I had to see this movie a second time (little did I know then). I wanted to call her, but had put it off for days, because I was anxious about it. One evening we encountered and I decided to take the plunge and told her I couldn't get this movie out of my head. It turned out it was the same for her. She even had asked her mother and sister to go and see it with her, because she hadn't dared to ask me for seeing it a second time. She felt just the same as I did. And she also was too coward to admit it to me.
We laughed and talked about BBM and suddenly there was a new kind of connection between us. I remember when we parted I was so high on this feeling, I felt happy, happy happy. I smiled and grinned for the rest of the evening, other people asked me about it.
