I'll Tumble For Ya

Posted to Blog on Thursday, March 3rd, 2005 @ 7:30 PM
So I'm taking Kung Fu classes. Seriously. And in preparation for a tournament we're hosting at the end of the month, we put mats on the floor tonight and practiced tumbling.

Ed's Note: He's not actually participating in the tournament, as he will be conveniently out of town.

It seemed somehow ridiculous to be a grown man doing forward and backward sommersaults on a big wad of blue mats. But I quickly realized how long it had been since I had made any contact with the ground at all, and just how separated our bodies (and perhaps our minds?) are from the earth. It felt good. Really, really good. So today's advice: go fall down some.
