Riding The Wave

When people are young, "riding the wave" can refer to surfing. To me it means hitting every green light on a major street. Have you ever been on a major roadway and at every corner the light is green? You start off not realizing it then after a few blocks you observe that the timing is perfect and you are coasting. At each new intersection you hope that the momentum keeps up and when it does you feel a sense of accomplishment. When the ride is finally over, you feel a bit sad but are glad that you rode the wave for that long.
