Sleepy Earthworms

[porphyrin]

Well, they aren't any more. But that's what I feel like this morning-- one of the earthworms curled tight in its winter bed of tomato roots, uncurling grudgingly when the remains of the plant have been uprooted. If earthworms had toes, they wouldn't stick them out from under the covers. Ever

It was great to see you at 4th Street! I hope things continue to go well for you and your family.

It was soooo good seeing you. I never forget how much I love you, even when we don't talk for ages, but getting to spend time with you is a special gift.

Your pickled sour cherries that you gave us some time ago were absolutely delicious. I loved them on pork and on ice cream, separately not together.:)

I've seen some pretty rough rolling at aikido and I bet you're better. What I find interesting are the people who can't roll forward at all. We have some people who roll forward basically completely sideways like a log instead of a wave. I found it helped me to think of kicking out towards the ceiling when I went backwards. For people who collapse forward we roll over the exercise ball to hold form. It'll happen someday.:)

Rolls

A long time ago I was a graduate student in Chemistry at Berkeley. One day I was trotting up the stairs in Lewis Hall carrying a nine pound bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid. I tripped, started to fall, and rolled sideways to land on my back with the bottle on my front. Was I ever happy with this result!

Sometimes, without training, one has to improvise.
