It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Expectations were exceeded!

Woo Hoo!

The AWESOME. And will this be showing up on your travel blog?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He'd never see it coming, I guarantee it.

It's good to know I have backup in the Big C. (Or whatever appropriate nickname Cincinnati has...)

Push Ups

Based on national averages, a 40-year-old woman should be able to do 16 push-ups and a man the same age should be able to do 27. By the age of 60, those numbers drop to 17 for men and 6 for women. Those numbers are just slightly less than what is required of Army soldiers who are subjected to regular push-up tests.

I'm not sure how many I can do (but we do sun salutations a lot in yoga, so I think I'm probably able to do 20 with correct form. Maybe.) I can't test it right now because I'm in a (vintage) dress in a classroom. But I'll check when I can.

How many pushups can you do?

Maybe five.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How come people in movies and TV shows always hail cabs by putting up their hand and shouting, "Taxi!" Does the shouting actually do anything? I can't imagine that the cab driver could hear someone shouting over all the other street noises. And I don't think I've ever heard anyone shout "Taxi!" like that in real life.

I think it's a Bill Bryson book, or maybe David Sedaris, that has a HILARIOUS rant about taxis in TV and movies. Specifically, how fictional people (Mel Gibson is the example they use) always manage to reach into their wallets and pull out the exact fare without looking at the cash, and how in real life Mel would be chased down the street with the taxi driver yelling "This is a $1 bill you Australian asshole!"

Anyone else know what I'm talking about??

Real pushups or the girly knee kind?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I stopped at 20. It started getting harder around 15.

The person who has my name and doesn't seem to know her own email address has apparently moved from Boston to NY. She recently ordered $1300 worth in shoes. I got the confirmation from Zappos.

That is not a very tough nickname.

I don't know how many pushups I could do, if any.
