now I know the whole of Grasping the Bird's Tail
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
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

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

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Coworker sniped at me this morning for not pinging her yesterday so we could meet. (And yes, I did kind of blow it off, but also, I am not the sole person responsible for remembering meetings.)
Coworker said, let's meet at 9:30. I have pinged her. Is she responding? No.

When it comes to driving, people really are idiots, agreed.

Well the big plus would be getting to spend time together, but the Tai Chi would be bonus. Would probably involve good food afterwards. hmmmmm... I'll be in the Bay Area at some point over summer, I'm sure. May be the year to plan a mini Bay Area f2f.
I am also learning one of the Yang forms, and Grasping Sparrow's Tail (that's what my teacher calls it) is a key piece in the short form, so that all makes sense. So beautiful and it feels so fluid. For maximum confusion potential, I think there's several different Yang forms.

Oh, yes, I'm sure there are. Yay mini Bay Area f2f + Tai Chi! I would love to see you, with or without the practice, of course.
