I haven’t been around lately because I’ve been wallowing in self-pity over my shoulder. I’ve been really hard on myself, and I recognize that, so this is my reconciliation with myself over my shoulder.

The shoulder is doing better. Actually much better, but it’s still not 100%. A few changes have happened since I last updated. First, I’m taking a break from the big circus school for the summer. This means, I’m only doing aerial 2 days a week until the fall. I’m okay with this as it will give me time to concentrate on home buying, p90x, and other things that are happening in my life.

Secondly, I’m not going to do trapeze for a while, until Eric is back in town. This will give my shoulder lots of time to heal. Trapeze is far harder on your shoulders than rope. As my shoulder starts being stronger again, I may add a little trapeze in, but for now, rope all the way. As a side note to that, I’m working on a new routine that will be on the rope, so this gives me something to concentrate on. I’ll be doing the routine to “Particle Man” by They Might Be Giants. This is my kid-friendly acts.

And for those of you who are US-based, over the Holiday weekend, I’m going to be in McMinnville, Oregon for the Northwest Tandem Bike Rally. We are going to be riding about 80 miles over a two day period. It should be alot of fun, but since we haven’t ridden all season, it’s going to be very difficult too. Oh well, it’s a way to kick off the cycling season well, and it will be fun. I cleaned the bikes last night, and I’m going to oil them down tonight in prep for driving down to McMinnville tomorrow.

I’ll have my laptop with me, and if the hotel we are staying at has Internet, I may post while I’m there. I’m thinking about getting a cheap, portable video camera (like the flip video or something) to capture some video from the ride.
