lemming Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: The Last Word I played softball a bit couple years back with work. I need way more practice. I had very uneven hitting and then tripping over the catcher and putting a crack in my arm didn't help things. Third "break" I've ever had and it always takes them a few days to have some observant enough to see the crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Re: The Last Word I tended to play catcher, because no one else wanted to. That torn calf is almost the only sports-related injury I've ever had. It seems to have been career-ending, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Re: The Last Word I went swimming for the first time in years yesterday. Interesting how little we forget. My form has actually improved in the years I haven't been using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Re: The Last Word I swam last night. Decided to go down to the hotel pool. I still don't think my butterfly is all that good. But backstroke I go the length of the pool very quickly still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Re: The Last Word As far as I can remember, today was the first time I ever was acknowledged in person at a talk. A weird one, too. I laughed, but not enough people there knew me well enough to laugh with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every store I went into, people had to know my height. Usually it's only about once a week that someone asks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Re: The Last Word Apparently the global southern oscillation ("El Nino") condition is holding near neutral now, after a drastic change from La Nina conditions that held from March 2007 to March 2008. Not at all clear what that means, though such neutral conditions are associated with more Atlantic hurricanes making landfall on the US coast.

Cancer Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Re: The Last Word I dunno. More storage lockers in Colorado (and more U-Hauls) might be a better short-term idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, if all else fails, most bars do carry Sam Adams.[/quote'] There's a lot more places with good beer now. In the 80s, much more difficult. Here in Utah, there's a couple good breweries. Nothing like what I was used to in Portland of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
