Welcome to our weekly features.
This week's top five is Natural Wonders I've Seen:
5. Changing Leaves: Simple, yet beautiful. Autumn is my favorite season because of this. Despite seeing it every year, the various colors never get old. It makes raking them a little less annoying.
4. Humpback Whales: There's something amazing about seeing a creature larger than the vehicle you drove to the ocean in leaping from the water. Kind of puts things in perspective.
3. The Grand Canyon: So vast and amazing that it looks like it isn't real when you're standing right on the rim of it. I know you may be thinking, "Only ranked three?" to which I say, get your own top five list if you don't like it.
2. Active Volcano: We took a helicopter ride over Kilauea in Hawaii. The lava flow was spectacular and you could feel the heat from it while hundreds of feet above it.
1. Northern Lights: Went most of my life thus far without seeing them, but when I finally did, wow. It's eerie, really. You don't think you're really seeing them at first. There's also some sentimental value I won't go into here, but this was my favorite natural wonder ever.
This week's cool-ass thing you will never own is a summer home on the moon. I don't even think they're even building up there right now because of the economy.
This week's sign you are a nerd is that you want to rush past the regular season in your sports video game so that you can manage all the front office personnel decisions. Even in the video game world, you shy away from human contact.
This week's nemesis is teaser trailers. These things get me all worked up when there's still several months to go until the movie comes out. It's like the Christmas decoration being out before Halloween.
This week's lesson learned is that using a cliche that takes five minutes to explain is counter-productive.
And, this week's Star Wars quote is C3PO's lament after he thinks Luke, Leia, Han and Chewey have been crushed in the trash compactor. I was actually just talking about this scene with someone the other day.
That's all for now. There will be another post later today to make up for Friday's lack of material. Please check back later.
