"...in the middle of my BACKSWING?!"

I suppose that, in fairness, we can't be *entirely* sure of what the reporter saw these people doing prior to taking these photos, but the word choice on these two photo captions gives me pause, all the same.

Speaking of the hurricane, I hope to scrounge up a few bucks for the Red Cross relief fund. You should, too! Or, if'n you like poker, you could play in the online tournament for charity that Wil Wheaton is organizing. I, personally, am fairly hopeless at poker--some unholy combination of very bad luck with the cards I get, and a pitiful lack of experience at the game--so I'll be going for option A.

Anyhoo, my gimp ankle seems to have recovered enough that I made it through my regular yoga class yesterday. I didn't feel froggy enough to try cardio, because it's higher impact, so there's more risk of stepping wrong and hurting myself, but things are on the upswing. I am going to try Taiji class tonight and hope that goes well, too.

I *crave* wushu, but I'm still too worried about my ankle to even attempt that. Grrr. I'm never going to get that split landing if I don't heal up soon!!

Beer may happen this weekend; I'm still waffling. Takers?
