Robert Benchley
Benchley drank a lot and died at 56. Try not to follow suit. Old dogs can learn new tricks. Jamie and Adam proved it.

intro ic swings session with ct. Nice of her, good shoulder work, something new to work on. Light dinner after get home by 6:30. 5 drops by and we throw the ball for Rose and chat. Brigid calls me at 10 to pick her up from dance, she dives into the back seat, in dress, make-up, bare shoulders: "I look like an Easter basket." She looks great, strong, total jockette. Make her get up to front seat and she stops being so self-conscious and chatters on. Late night Buffy fest.
Saturday, up and into sf for for drenching 90 minute flow class with MH, good.
Ten minutes on moves 1 and 2 with ic.
pm, walk with Ian and Rose. Ian spots a huge gopher snake swimming in the marsh, lost in the qik video, we watch as it swims across widest portion. Marsh looks so healthy now; cry for Louisiana.
Dinner at Anne's, Brigid on the deck in Peru hat. We get home and watch Butch and Sundance, Ian is game, Brigid complaining: "Give it 15." She loves it.
Today, up early and five hours of work, shop, bail on ct, should have sucked it up but the thought of 90 minutes driving just unappealing.
So get outside, and do it asshole.
And I do, drag it out at 5:00:
