Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Last week I had a dream about the first Seattle group hoop. In the dream, the gathering was in the meadow at my mom’s house. There were easily 50 people there, and the whole thing was a screaming success. I figured out how to do some insane physics-defying trick without even trying, and it was [...]

I love trading tricks at beach. And that’s not what it sounds like.
PS: Having a funny little video camera that can hang around [...]
Here’s a shot of my friend Dot and me trying to doublehoop:

Also: my bubble butt could kick J.Lo’s ass IN A [...]
Here’s a video of the hooping workshop at GoTT today (340 MB .mpg). The conference was good, complete with a former UN representative, and other well-versed important people talking to us. There was a happy three-legged dog. It was held in a great space. Lots of interesting people to talk to. Oh, and I stood [...]
