Questing

My friends and I regularly rehearse (or attempt to, depending on the weather) in various parks around Portland. Since the Almighty has deemed it doth rain here, we spend a lot of time driving around in our minivan, or "The Hulk." It's green. During one of these drives the other day, we all began absent-mindedly humming the "Indiana Jones" theme.

Noticing a man jogging by himself on the side of the road, I said, "Hey, let's sing it to him to encourage him!" So we did. And the trend stuck. Somewhere in the past five days we've decided that it's our quest to:

a) Sing the "Indiana Jones" theme to anyone along the side of any road, anywhere, at any time, and
b) Find the person who will respond in ecstasy, crying out, "I AM Indiana Jones! Toss me my hat and bullwhip!" At which point we will.

So far, success has been minimal. Sometimes people look at us in confusion, which isn't quite the same thing. Baby steps. Baby steps.
