The text of the postcard is
Dear Ellen,
It’s like someone just said, “ham on rye!,” and Princess Leia is thinking “mmm!,” Han is thinking, “with or without mayo?” and Luke – letting his actions speak for him, is thinking, “NOT AGAIN!”
Sincerely,

It’s windy at the top of a light house, about 100 feet up. And wind makes my eyes water pretty quickly (if I sit at the front of a roller coaster, I come off the ride looking like I have just experienced an emotional breakthrough).
The tour guide was standing next to me.
“The wind makes me cry,” I say, as an explanation for the waterworks.
“Yeah,” she says laughing, then quickly hides the smile and adds, “it really is a beautiful view.”
Wait … crap.
At that point I’m convinced all she heard me say was cry, and she thinks I’m crying because of the view. She thought I was joking at first, then noticed the tears, and wow, we’ve got a real emotional fella over here.
I mention, casually, about three times over the course of the next five minutes, how windy conditions make my eyes water. I can’t mention it enough. And I realize, my over-the-top casual mentions of this have probably confirmed to her that I cry when I see pretty views.
If you visit Australia, and a stereotype for Americans is that we cry at pretty views … well, now you’ll know where it came from.
I’ve been pretty lazy with my blog since returning from my big trip to Australia – but you know, the last two years I have posted pretty decent videos, so I’m just going to pretend my birthday is next week and post a video then.
Ok? Ok.
In the meantime, check out last year’s video!
Or the video I did the year before that!
