I'm typically such a hard case. But that guy put the fear of god into me and I've never let it go. Now, it HAS caused me to create and indulge in some unholy language uttered and heard only by me in my own car. I had to learn that the hard way, too. My mouth has got me into way more trouble than my middle finger.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-12946381284303667162011-05-10T16:59:54.698-07:002011-05-10T16:59:54.698-07:00So funny - love the story.

We're well-suited gymnastically (thanks, Jerry!) AND you're a man who liked Enchanted April.

I was terribly uncoordinated as a child. Probably why Jerry Lewis was an early hero of mine.<br /><br />I have seen Enchanted April, and enjoyed it.

You use the word "thrill". It thrilled you. And you didn't risk injury. So who's physically gifted and who's smart? I'd rather be smart than dead!<br /><br />Growing up in Salt Lake, there were several months of the year we had to take PE in the gym because of weather. Man - for the few moves I COULD execute - I was SOMETHING with the added advantage of starting out on top of the trampoline. This sawed-off girl could nearly get up into the rafters before doing the quadruple back flip . . YES, I'm blowing smoke.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-2193574453453260782011-05-10T08:06:02.154-07:002011-05-10T08:06:02.154-07:00Oh boy, I can't do a cartwheel either.

Sort of a vicarious thrill for me.MoreCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997966214729747678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-41778027282249446662011-05-10T07:09:26.662-07:002011-05-10T07:09:26.662-07:00@ Rachel ~ Oh, given your height, I think cartwhee...@ Rachel ~ Oh, given your height, I think cartwheels and handstands would be added a happy little fillip, that extra trailer of long limbs . . on the other hand, the flip might be better suited to us stubby persons. Less length to pull over. I'm sure there must be some math or physics in there that are beyond my ken. I loved your use of "eyewatering". I imagine I'd just be bawling. But your idea of mannequin legs and a spade on a sand beach . . .

It's a perfect companion for so many things. I'd love to dress like those good women, look like Caroline Dester, be a good soul like Rose Arbothnot and as whimsical and loving as Lottie Wilkins. I'd also like to be like Mrs. Fisher when I'm old - 100% certain of how EVERYTHING should be in the world.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-15118444827503679882011-05-09T21:46:42.350-07:002011-05-09T21:46:42.350-07:00I love Enchanted April!
