LMAO!!!!

There are some things in life that are just too priceless not to pass along to others. This The Numinous 1 is one of them. Go there, check it out, and discover how witty a woman can really be. She is truly larger than life in her candor. I can't say anything else but...she rocks!

Fat Grrl Rides Motorcycle, Lives to Tell Tale

Ok, now it wasn't that bad at all. My first (and only) motorcycle lesson took place a couple of years ago. It went really well considering that the motorcycle was in pretty poor repair and was truly too large for my 5'2". But I managed. And I learned.

I learned that there is a certain sort of freedom when riding a motorcycle and a kinship with other riders, strangers though they may be.

The riding community, and the support out there is strong. They don't care about your size, your color, your religion. They just want to ride.

And I want to ride with them.

I'm saving up for my motorcycle safety course. Then look out.

Sailing Lessons Postponed Due to Life

Yes, I had to quit my sailing lessons after only 2 days. Life just intruded and something in my over-full bucket called "obligations" had to be set aside so I didn't dump the whole darn thing. So sailing had to go.

The instructor was very understanding and we discussed my return in the Spring once graduate school is done and the days start getting longer.

My spouse (who was able to finish the course) promised to take me out on the boats until I can sail with my eyes crossed (or something to that effect).

My blue card is just a few lessons (and months) away.
