Hang Gliding Update

I might be able to have another lesson on Friday, when we'll have a brief break from storms, but it depends on my knee/foot. They're much better but it's questionable whether they'll have healed enough in the next two days for me to want to repeatedly run down a rocky slope on them while balancing a 50-60 lb glider on my shoulders.

Let me rephrase that. I TOTALLY want to. I should say, would it be a good idea. To which I suspect the answer will be no. The devil on my shoulder doesn't say "Do drugs! You're just a little buzzed, you can drive! Say something mean!" It says, "One more set! You'll learn better the closer together the lessons are! You're a woman in a male-dominated field, show no weakness!"

While I was going over lesson times with Dan, I texted him: "Please tell me I'm not the first student to conclude a first lesson by banging themselves up."

Dan texted back: "Nope. Sometimes they wait until you think they have it wired then Blamo... major mayday."
