Trampoline in the Rain
Life in Budapest was pretty interesting, but with interestingness came difficulty. Life in Orlando is not very difficult, but with ease comes a certain degree of monotony. It’s not that life is boring it’s just that challenges come in different forms. Driving, getting registered, buying insurance, and buying appliances all require some effort, but they are no longer quite as interesting (my new discovery of online classified ads notwithstanding).
Getting Andrew to tonight’s youth group event was challenging, but it isn’t interesting because there are one million other Americans doing the same thing right now, too.
Visually things are pretty homogenous as well. Sure, it all looks nice, but everything is so spread out that the scenery doesn’t change much during the course of daily errands. It takes a trip through different parts of the city to create an interesting ride. It all makes me want to paint my house pumpkin yellow-orange like our neighbors’ in Budapest.
But jumping on the trampoline in the rain with Audrey - that’s interesting.
