Freddie hit butterfly swirl.

So I just got off the phone with the program director at the Irving Park YMCA. Looks like the space won't be automatic but by the time I get out of work each night (6pm & later) I should be able to find space in one of five different rooms. It isn't my ideal situation, but I think I can make it work. So I'm gonna get a membership tomorrow I think. Anybody else interested?

In addition to finding space to practice, the program director had a lot of different ideas, such as:

:arrow: Teaching a class or leading a group footbag activity
:arrow: Bringing CIC in to do a demo (hmmmm?) but in exchange we'd volunteer at Healthy Kids Day - by playing more footbag!

Overall the program director was very keen on learning more about footbag, she was intrigued by what it is, and very helpful. Could be an opportunity to get at least one indoor jam/demo together this winter, but we'd have to hold up our end of the bargain as well by volunteering later on. Something to think about.

I'm also gonna get huge. This is what I'm aiming for:

Check out Gemini's hairline - or are those more muscles.

I'm down for demos, etc. Dunno about the membership. How much? what are facilities, etc.


Who wants to go snowboarding? I've been looking into pricing. Bout 80 bucks. prolly a hundo with taxes and whatev. Unless we stay over. That could be lotsa fun.

Does anyone around here wear size 11 lavers? I'd like to try 1/2 size smaller than mine.

Colin, I'm probably not really going to get huge. I might try to get less slight, but then again I might not. My priorities are:

1: Shred
2: Sauna/Jacuzzi
3: Yoga
4: Get less slight

Or maybe some fine young thang will catch my eye, and my efforts to impress her will lead to all sorts of zany hijinx.

Usual place... yes... but after that can we get kicked out of a few places?

I'm going to the Y to kick tonight, probably tomorrow too. I'll let you guys know how that goes & if I talk to the program director again or get a chance to demo footbag for her.

The book isn't about getting huge, it's about getting fit safely and efficiently by lifting properly.

I request that you change your avatar pic, Zeke. It's like having a little nightmare every time I see it.

Use your own :!:

So I still have to edit and upload all my pics onto my.org account. I'll upload the full sized pics of the snow takraw session to my flickr account for Fletcher and anyone else that wants them. Don't expect them up until later this week, though. BTW, I'll be off from work from Thursday through Sunday.

Yesterday was the first time I played since that snow session. My left knee was aching, my right ankle had some pain, didn't eat anything prior to the session but I sure as hell had a good time with the rest of the Rav5. It was just good to be up and moving again. They shred for most of the session. I had a long game with Reile with no scores just volleying back and forth. Next we tried eye contact 2S - SO HARD! We played staring at each other, if your eyes wandered you were out. It was so hard to not laugh or track the bag as it got kicked around. He and Freddy played another match. Freddy seemed better at keeping a straight face while playing. Both games ended when the footbag flew right into an open eye! Then we all played a few games of squares afterwards, I think Tom took both games. He was practically bursting with energy. Played a game to 5 points with no shoes to wind down. Despite the carpet, that floor is very unforgiving.

Chilled @ LaRAZA minus Freddy. We watched vids or viewed pics of Reile and I getting Baconed (Bac-PWNT?) and ordered a couple of pepperoni cakes for dinner. MMMMMMMem -emmm.

I'm willing to drop 1/2 the parking lot fee just to NOT be standing around waiting for the bus. It's likely Reile will not be playing.
