Well, it’s almost mid-October. I’m getting so I write this about once a month, which isn’t bad, but isn’t really good either. Whatever…
So, what’s been up, you ask-as if anyone reads this…that’s prolly why I haven’t been writing this-it’s just a waste of time. Anyways, here goes-working, taking care of baby. Moved the office end of September. I’m pretty settled in now and back to work-it’s a nice place, if sterile. Came in 3rd at San Diego in both precision and ballet, which is good considering I’ve never flown precision and the ballet routine was an Experienced one. Got my car fixed-Ford dealership tried to rip me off-the problem was a torn hose & they wanted $750 in injector repairs… Never going back THERE. Retrieved my parents from the airport-they had a good trip. The boy is crawling now. He can pull himself up to standing now, too-it won’t be long until he’s walking. Went to the Festival of Sacred Music when we got back-we got there late, so I missed Sekar Jaya and the Tibetans-I’m bummed. I’m not sure what I’m going to do about gamelan this year-it’s SO far to drive.
And now the big news-went to AKA Nationals last week to compete, and…I’M NATIONAL CHAMPION!!!!!!!! It’s only in the experienced class, so I’m just the best of the “pretty good”-it’s not like I’m the Masters champion…But the trip was good-the boy was great on the plane. It rained Friday and Saturday, but Thursday was great-sunny and good winds. I flew great-Ron Despojado, Tom Stoner, Steve LaPorte and Allan Stroh all said so. Allan has a video, too, so I’ll get a copy of the performance. I’d like to get in touch with Tori Amos & let her know that I used her music… California fliers did well-3 firsts, 4 seconds, and 7 thirds. Ron Despojado came in 3rd in Masters-a surprise, Ron beat Steve LaPorte for freestyle, also sort of a surprise. It was a good trip.
Not much else to say-time to start work on a new routine. And get back to work…
