One of mine that just popped into my head was when my best friend came to my summer class as I was finishing up my degree, and told me that I just got an offer to play professional basketball in Europe. He interrupted the class with the news and my professor announced it to the class!

new year's eve 1994/5. i had just moved to new york and was counting down the new year in the middle of squeezebox nightclub with debbie harry performing right in front of me.

Waking up from a coma and holding my son for the first time.

Playing guitar on the beech one night with my best friend in the world.


We were a little intoxicated. There was alot of drama going on in both our lives at the time, it was good to get away for a few hours and just doodle together. It's one of those rare male bonding momments where you don't need to really talk your problems over--you just need to share an experience and you reach understandings at a higher level.


We hate each other now.

Finding out the girl of my dreams fancied me. Lil' ole me. I was only about 11. Musta been all that hammer dancing that impressed her?

Seriously though, out of all the boys who tried gaming on her, she saw me, and I wasn't even in any of her classes.

The day my boyfriend and I first flirted and held hands at this concert we went to for our school. On the bus ride home I fell asleep in his arms, with our cheeks against each other.

The first summer after my wife and I had started dating. It was rough being away from her, but we managed to drive to see each other at least once a week, and each time we saw each other after being apart was one of the happiest moments in our lives.

Outside of the birth of my kids?

Going to a country outside of the States for the 1st time.
Playing original improvisational Jazz music in front of over 20,000 people that didn't know us and receiving a standing ovation.

Our drummer at the time recounts the experience in the 2nd paragraph of this article:

The birth of my 4 angels

Stumbling across a wild elephant and her calf, and being so close I could feel her breath on my face. I was so happy and excited I thought my heart would burst.

Does it involve you bending over to pick it up?

PANDURITO said:

No. I just looked at it for a bit and then walked on.



Don't wanna overload on excitement, ya know. Bad for the old ticker.

I've had many happy moments in my life. The one I chose to tell depends on the moment you ask me...

Right now:

Last week I went to France with my boyfriend. We had planned to stay for six days, but returned after three days. I became ill, we had forgotten an important part of the tent, I lost my phone, the weather was horrible but the worst thing was that my cat had disappeared just before we left. I couldn't sleep, thinking about her. When we came back in Belgium her little friend (another cat) showed us the way to the place she had been locked up for four days, without food or water.

It was just so great to hold her in my arms and feed her. She was really weak. If we had been away for one week she might have died in there.
