because of my experience target shooting and having to pay attention to the inhale/exhale/heartbeat/when to squeeze the trigger.
Heh -- I just finished re-reading a Jack Reacher book in which that featured heavily.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I'm reminding myself that gymkata =/= gymkhana
You know - there might be some survival value to being able to gallop a pony while holding an egg in a spoon. You never know.
So, we're keeping tumbling? Should Orienteering be part of the survival Olympics? Or maybe something like rally (in car racing)? Dog sledding?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

For the chicken, there certainly is.

Any of the Democrats are lesser evils than McCain. Don't think any of them are ready for or have faced the full extent of the mess Bush has left them. (Or maybe they all have, but can't really hint at it because that wouldn't be being positive. And not being positive is practically a criminal offense in the 21st century US. Turn that frown upside down. Or else.)
Hey, watch the negativity. Next thing you know you'll be saying that we can't cut taxes, increase defense spending, and balance the budget all at the same time and that would be unamerican.

Well, not if the egg is smashed.

That's what I was saying. It may not be a survival skill for you to be able to carry the egg, but for the chicken...

“Not dead yet!”
Actually, according to my LJ calender, we're two days early. Although I'm all for birthday weeks.

Punishingly Intricate
Hey! Thanks for all the birthday wishes you guys! I took off yesterday because I hate the idea of working on my birthday (since, when I was a kid, we never started school until after Labor Day). I took the boyfriend up to DE to show him my old stomping grounds. We had lunch at the Charcoal Pit where we used to hang out (until we got kicked out) in high school and took him to Old New Castle where I lived until I was 11. Fun but a little unsettling in the way visiting the past can be.
Today I am very tired.
