what was this? holiday of the million downers? do television stations assumed that we are all semi-comatose from the turkey so this is the time to inundate us with as much depressing news as possible? on cnn, we took breaks from coverage on the forgotten injured soldiers, returning from iraq and afghanistan, to watch a special about the dude who escaped from an atlanta courtroom, shooting people as he went. you know the guy - he ended up turning himself in after taking refuge at a woman's house who claimed she convinced him to give himself in after feeding him pancakes and praying (turned out that she fed him meth, but i know i get the two confused ALL the time). so then i thought i would take a break from tv and watch a movie - a documentary about suicide off the golden gate bridge. i know what you're thinking but my friend swore that despite the subject matter the film was totally not depressing at all. and somehow i believed that documentary and suicide could come together in an uplifting way...
so this morning, i woke up at the crack of dawn to google - suicide and the golden gate bridge and then suddenly it was 12:26 pm. jumped up, grabbed my wraps, gym bag and dashed out the house. ran ALL the way to the gym, and made it in time for my 12:30 boxing class. rebekit, look out. i am totally acing the skipping rope. i am crossing and i almost have the double jump down. did a headstand and then went home, disconnected the smoke detector and baked a cake -chocolate, from scratch (around here, you have to specify). you see.. that's yin and yang.

I saw that same documentary! I need to lay off CNN for a while, I think...
one of these fine days reb, either we take a boxing class or we find a double dutch class and go NUTS!!!!
erikk(u), i was thinking the same thing but then anderson cooper is in istanbul this week and i just love it when he is out in the field.
can i come with you to the
boxing class if i come visit?
can i?
and then have chocolate cake?
or we could go to Teany's.
if you visit? when did it become an if?
if you had not asked to come to class, i would have dragged you anyway.
we can have chocolate cake AND go to teany's.
how is that for a deal?
