I had trouble crossing my right leg in a figure-4 shape
My right leg doesn't like to do that, either! Because my hip is a jerk. But I'm not sure I want to be bent in half, even by a genderqueer Pilates Amazon, to fix it.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, you do! Your pain tolerance is already higher than mine.

That's just situational, though. I think Pilates would make me cry.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm in Stamford. As I was approaching the hotel entry a woman asked me if I was here for the competition. She was delighted I was here as a cheerleader. Told me how excited she was for her first time. Quite a few people look like that is why they are here. Nice bar downstairs at The Stamford. I was amused that she picked me out as a possible competitor.
ETA: I told Brendon he has to take pictures since I always forget.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Go crosswordistas and supporters! I hope you all have a great weekend!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I thought for a second you were talking about what it would take for B to retire...
-t continues to be my brain-sibling. No smacking Brendon with a 2x4!

You left out this part: "One session is all it takes to see why her clients gave her the nickname 'The Pilates Domme' ”. She is totally going to snap you like a twig. Or bend you in half. (Or both; I don't know a lot about pilates.)
Both. It's both.
Signed, my sister-in-law has been teaching Pilates since before it was cool. Many a laugh has been had at the Cadillac. It really, really, really looks straight out of the dungeon.

Aww, wish I could be two places at once and be at the crosswords this weekend in addition to my friend’s birthday cabin.

I am in the hopping burg of Stamford -- it actually is pretty hopping. So many people at the hotel for this thing! Elevator doors decorated with big crossword grids. Cute!
We had a delicious and delightful dinner with Vortex, Laura & DH, Brenda, Jesse, Javachik, and me at an Albanian restaurant right near the hotel (thanks for finding that, Javachik!), and now it's bedtime. A good night's sleep before the big competition, dontchaknow.
I'll post pictures in the FB group.
