Shoot the Hostage

Living Indefinitely is just hoppin' these days! When I first sat down to write my little message to you I was going to write about summer, which has finally come to my neck of the woods. But that sounded too trite, so I decided to talk about the softball team Sonya and I are on, which just won its third game in a row and that is pretty exciting. But then I thought it would make more sense to write about our two new columns, "The Scientician" and "My Way Is Right," which are both really cool and exciting. But then something happened to me in Boston and I had to tell you all about it right away.

See, I was walking along a street somewhere in Boston, and I saw a police motorcycle guy drive past. He had his lights flashing and siren blaring and I thought, "Ok, wow." But then another one came through. And another. And then two together, riding side by side. Then a bunch more.

I'd only seen this kind of thing on TV, when they show those motorcades, so I thought, "What could be in the motorcade?" And just then I saw a big white commuter bus go by! And I figured it out!

What must've happened was, somebody hijacked the bus and they had to keep it going really fast, just like in Speed 1! I whipped around really fast to see if Keanu Reeves or Sandra Bullock was on the bus (or Dennis Hopper, for that matter). I saw somebody that looked a little like Keanu
Reeves but it could've been a reflection. It was dark so I couldn't tell for sure, and the bus was moving pretty fast down the street... but not too fast! Or else, KABLOW!

I didn't hear anything else about the real life Speed bus, but it was a pretty exciting thing. I'm totally glad I decided to tell you all about it.
