A Random Memory

This just popped in my head and got me laughing...although I'm not sure it will be as funny to everyone else, so I will just dedicate it to Sarahann.
While attending BYU, my best friend and roommate was Sarahann. We chose to live in apartments just south and east of campus due to accessibility. Sarah had the awesome opportunity to work at the newspaper as she was a journalism major. Sometimes she would be late up on campus and would need an escort home. I typically got some wonderful guy friend or another to drop me off where I could meet her and then we'd walk home.
There was a large hill at the south of campus that was a ramp, so we could go down. Stairs, I am afraid are not good for wheelchairs. I'm not sure how the psychotic thought came into our heads, but we would shut off the electricity to the wheelchair and then I would run behind it, gaining speed until I would have to come to a crazy forced stop before we ran of the edge of the sidewalk at the end.
I know. Crazy. I was very dangerous with my poor friend. But, we had fun and it is one of those memories that I will always cherish because it was completely random and hilariously fun with a bit of fright mixed in. I mean, that wheelchair was heavy so I was always just a little afraid we'd get going too fast for me to stop it.
Again, I'm not sure why this completely random memory came to my head. I guess I just miss you, Sarah!!

*Disclaimer: Do not try this at home or under any other circumstances...I already pointed out that it was dangerous and I could have really hurt my friend!*

You two were always doing crazy things like that! I remember something similar that you did when I came to visit.
