That Epic Asphault

Dear Santa,

I want a longboard.

No, really… I want a longboard.  I want to feel the wind in my hair as I get up on my deck and begin to swoop back and forth.  The gravel is my seaspray, the road is my neverending wave.  I would hike a mountain and find the gentle slope leading home.  I would glide back and forth.  I would do slides and spins.  I would walk the board, feel the wheels respond to every shift in my weight.  The road would never rise up to meet me.  I would reach my hands out and feel the heat from the blacktop.  Not a single car would ruin the high.  Somewhere down the road, I know my momentum would slow.  I would eventually feel the ride coming to an end.  But not in the moment.  Not while the board and I are one.

Do you think you could do that for me, Santa?  Lubbock is a very flat place, but I’m sure I could find a parking garage to shred… or just move to Austin.

Oh… and can I have a helmet, please?  Thanks.

Yours truly,

The Great Dane
