Why do I feel like writing today is like lobbing a ball into the air?
Focus.
What was I doing?
Oh, yeah. Writing. The daily bit because it's what I do.
Most days it's easy to not think too much about other people reading this except as a very loose filter. But today it's kind of hard since the interstices has its own party goin' on. The phrase "the inmates are running the asylum" runs through my head.
Repeatedly.
I don't know how long -g. and Francois can maintain this.
My face hurts from laughing.

Lobbing the ball.
Then ducking.

So Deb gave me my first raquetball lesson. This is gonna be fun. Followed the session with some weights. I could understand why I couldn't lift my arms. But glutes? I saw Deb on AIM so I pinged her.
"Why does my butt hurt?"
Apparently she was in the middle of teaching a java class and was projecting her laptop.
I've been warned that students will be asking me how I'm feeling today.

Posted by: mom at May 5, 2004 09:04 AMOh, the horror. If only AIM created new message windows minimized by default, as it should...
Posted by: Mike at May 5, 2004 09:15 AMOkay now my cheeks hurt. I mean on my face from laughing. Sorry, I know that's cruel, glutes hurting isn't to be laughed at...
Posted by: LiL at May 5, 2004 09:19 AMSure it is.
Both sets of cheeks are hurting right now. I think Deb was mortified, It cracked me up.
Posted by: weez at May 5, 2004 09:25 AMAs the racquettball stance instructor, I must add that I was indeed horrified. Imagine that your diligently assisting students with in-class work...then suddenly you hear a slow harmonious buzz that quickly transforms into rumbles of laughter, then downright outbursts. I have never seen student Mike X's face so red! This must mean that my students take me for prude as they appeared embarassed for me as I ran to the PC diving for the minimize key.
Thank heavens Weez is a 'good sport'. She will need care however to mobilize the lactic acid that has appeared to settle at bottom.

I sent a letter to the fish,
I told them, This is what I wish.
The little fishes of the sea,
They sent an answer back to me.
The little fishes' answer was
We cannot do it, sir, because ...
I sent a letter back to say
It would be better to obey.
But someone came to me and said
The little fishes are in bed.
I said to him, and I said it plain
Then you must wake them up again.
I said it very loud and clear,
I went and shouted in his ear.
But he was very stiff and proud,
He said You needn't shout so loud.
And he was very proud and stiff,
He said I'll go and wake them if ...
I took a kettle from the shelf,
I went to wake them up myself.
But when I found the door was locked
I pulled and pushed and kicked and knocked,
And when I found the door was shut,
I tried to turn the handle, But ...
Is that all? asked Alice.
That is all. said Humpty Dumpty. Goodbye.
