Choreo, HP, wrists, flying, books

[cjsmith]

I am now almost two days behind on writing material for a dance in August. If I let myself get any behinder I'll have an awful time catching up.

My copy of Harry Potter won't arrive "on time". Given the previous paragraph, that's probably good.

My wrists haven't hurt since Sunday. One of them is still popping a lot, but it might not be all that abnormal. They've always sounded a bit like Rice Krispies. I'll start on the water rower again this coming weekend.

My favorite taildragger instructor is too busy to fly this weekend. So is the next person I asked. The person she in turn recommended won't be ready to start for a week or two. Woe is me. Given that first paragraph, this too is probably good.

Anybody have an Amazon associates referral link they can point me at real quick? I have a large order going in from (and for) work, and I get no points for referring *myself* to buy books. Somebody might as well get the couple bucks. First reply wins all.

Just curious, what do you do for your wrists in terms of stretching, strengthening, and general niceness?

I keyboard a lot for my job, and the Pawanmuktasans series I has been a godssend. It's a set of rotations, opens and closes, and a few other things, which taken together are really nice for keeping things happy and stretched out, altho the popping and such when I first started these exercises did scare the wits out of me.

It might be something to do as a general idea, if you're not already giving your wrists and arms some of the Good Love.

Honestly, there's very little I do for them on a regular basis these days. I think the best love I ever gave them was good posture and regular practice on the piano while I was still growing. My wrists and hands are unusually limber and flexible. Despite extreme (!!) provocation, I've never been greatly hampered by tendinitis, unlike quite a few of my colleagues. But aside from a few stretches I stole from aikido, I'm resting on my laurels now. That's probably not a great idea.

More info on the Pawanmuktasans series please?
