Jump

The kids and I got motivated today and drove to one of our favorite Wisco spots this afternoon: Pewit's Nest. It's super picturesque but I don't have any photos because I didn't want to get my camera wet on the wade through the small, lovely, moss-covered canyon.

There's a spot on the wade from one end of the gorge to the other where people climb the side of the cliff and jump, as I did on one occasion when the kids and I were there with the New Englander.

Not today. The water level was lower than last time, and I didn't fancy hitting my feet on the rock again (and possibly harder), as I did the last time.

Instead, we watched others, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery while a little VH played on my very own internal soundtrack:

I get up, and nothin' gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real

Ah, can't you see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?

Ah
Might as well jump
(Jump)
Might as well jump
Go ahead an' jump
(Jump)
Go ahead and jump

Ow oh
Hey you
Who said that?
Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know
You won't know until you begin

So can't ya see me standing here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?

Ah
Might as well jump
(Jump)
Go ahead and jump
Might as well jump
(Jump)
Go ahead and jump
Jump

Maybe next time!
