I took a sailing class last year at Lake Crabtree, but I'm taking the same class again this year because I forgot quite a lot relating to rigging the sail and suchlike. It spans three days, and today was the second day. It all came back to me rather quickly, and I'm hoping there's something I'll be taught that I really didn't know about before so I'll have something to do besides tack and jive through figure-eights.
Anyway, sailing is great, as long as there's plenty of wind. I don't get stuck in irons anymore, and I haven't tipped over at all this year or last - although I did get close a few times today when I was going for maximum speed.
Trevor came over Sunday night, and there was more Soldat humiliation, and much talking, and watching of Terminator 2, which was a heartily decent movie. My dad and I had watched the first Terminator movie a few nights before, and it really wasn't that great - bad acting, cheesy special effects (even for the '80s), and sex scenes extensive enough that they could be called little else but porno. But the sequel was much better - I think I'll be going to see the... trequel soon.
I need to see some friends sometime soon. Summer's already past the halfway mark, and this has instilled a sense of urgency in me, albeit a lazy one.
