If warning sirens go off I move to the bedroom where there are no windows (if I'm not already in there), but I've been living in tornado country far too long and been on the highway during too many passing storm fronts to be very worried. I've been outside and looked up to see clouds spinning as they passed over my house.

Glad you are okay, msbelle.
I still have to bake cookies. Who made this terrible plan? But, to look on the bright side, now I know the whole of Grasping the Bird's Tail and the beginning of Bagua Fish, maybe I can practice some when the cookies are in the oven..

In the oven. Tired. Waking up at 5:30 9s gonna suck. And yet, I am confident that figuring out how to carry these cookies in to the office will go better tomorrow morning than if I try to resolve it tonight.

Well, those did not hold their shape at all. Oh well, they are still, presumably, cookies and edible, so whatever.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oo, I know that one! But not Bagua Fish. We are learning different forms. I want to do Tai Chi with you some time so we can teach each other the different versions

Glad all went OK, msbelle.
I'm waiting for a ping, it may be a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! Theo! Professional question: do you know where the customer is headed before you pick them up? This came up in conversation the other day.
I'm sure the cookies are delicious, -t!

I was just thinking how we could practice together, Burrell! Seeing what the differences are would be so interesting. I think I am learning Yang-style short form, fwtw.
I'd better sample a cookie or two, make sure they are okay before I feed them to my coworkers...

Walk in to land in the midst of massive communications fail. That was 2 hrs I didn't get anything planned done.

That doesn't sound fun.
Man, there was a bicycle on the road I take to work this morning, which isn't terribly uncommon. There's no shoulder, and he was just crossing the railroad tracks when I approached him (going the same direction) so I just slowed way down 'til we were done with all that and I could safely use the oncoming lane to pass him. Two cars passed me while I was crossing the railroad tracks. Two! People are idiots.
