????I?have been laid flat on the couch for the last week with a cold. Funny, I am such a snob, I thought it was impossible I would get sick; I am sooo healthy. NOT.
????Today I resisted the urge to go back to sleep after breakfast and ate vitamins and Advil instead. I then visited my horse. This is off topic, but I have to say, that this athletic animal -- ?with opinions and wishes that have nothing to do with mine -- subjects himself to my will, that he does my bidding as if he was one of my arms or legs, is amazing. Good times.
????I called Paul on the way home from the barn. He was at Quest. He said the soaring wasn't great (and his new glider has not yet arrived) but Mitch had lent him?his new?Target?and he was going to have a fun flight anyhow. I felt pretty sick when I got home but got bored laying around and eventually threw my harness and camelback in the car.
????Lots of gliders rained from the sky when I got to Quest -- but one or two stayed up, and I am such an air slut, I eventually dragged out my Griffin for a flight, even though I had meant to stay grounded. I have to say Mitch spanked me worse than I have ever been spanked. I was right over him and couldn't get the thermal. Turns out it was just little bubbles, and if you hit one, you had to shove out quick and get in a turn. We got far enough downwind -- Mitch rising from way below me to way above me, just unbelievable -- that I finally ran home. I mean, this is in NOTHING lift. This is really something to look forward to; that I have so much to learn. Keeps it interesting.
????But yeesh. I thought?I flew better than that.?At least I land well. I guess it's all the practice!!!
????So my flight was only 25 minutes or so, but then I got to have really big fun. Russell had lent Mike from Canada his motorcycle, and I learned to ride it! I just got a ride at first, but then I learned to shift it and got to whiz around the field. Like, for a really long time, until somebody else wanted to try the toy. I hope Russell will not notice the dents in it (this is a joke). I want a red one.
