How did you get interested in doing trapeze, Hil?

Did it at camp when I was a kid and had fun, then a few years ago I saw something on TV about the trapeze school in NY, and I googled it and found out they had a branch in Baltimore. I really should be doing situps -- my abs are really out of shape, and those are the muscles that are usually most sore after trapeze. Well, abs and the backs of my shoulders.

Oh, Kristin! I hope you got seen and are home resting now. I hate the I-can't-breathe feeling.

Hil, that sounds so cool. I don't think I could ever do it, but it sounds wicked cool.

Trapeze does sound wicked cool.

At this point I think almost anything that involves balance or control pretty much involves the abs. Whenever I need more balance, I just think to myself "tighten your butt, tighten your abs" and 90something % of the time it works.

I always wonder about what would make me go past my fears and do something a little bit daring.

when my BIL fell off a ladder I did get past some of my driving fears -- at least to the point where in an emergency I feel I could go way beyond my usual close to home only habits

you are up awfully late Ms. Bug - or are you still in Kansas?

Thanks guys. I'm feeling better, and I'm gonna go read for a bit and then try to get to sleep.

glad you are better, Hil. I think I should sleep soon. where is this tiredness coming from ?

Oh, and she knows it too. Rest assured that your darling dog has already put in the hard yards on the question of how much and how often to drink from the toilet while devouring her human, for she has no fear of the consequences.

I'm just grateful that she's not a duck.

Oh! The other day during a show one of the audience suggestions was "Duck". Did I tell the duck necrophilia story? Oh yes I did.

how could you resist?
