Summer Stuff

[ceebeegee]

God, I just want to be OUT today, OUTSIDE enjoying this fantastic weather. I think I'll go to the beach on Sunday, if it's not raining. Anyone wanna come with? (Yellow bikini, Nathan's hot dogs, picnic basket...)

I need to push myself to see and do some things: I must see Much Ado, Fahrenheit 9/11 and also look into standing room tickets for some current shows like Wicked which apparently every gay man I meet thinks I should be in! Also must plan for the Renaissance Festival (the one in Tuxedo) sometime this summer--I think my schedule will quickly fill up after September starts. I also want to go canoeing--you can do it for free in the Hudson on weekends.

I miss Florida. Reading Duncan's post about the architecture there--it's so beautiful there, in a kind of hot, saturated way.

Going tanning later, again.

OT--I get so dizzy when I stretch or stand up. I hate having low blood pressure.

The beach sounds like fun, but I have plans to be sailing instead. I hope the weather is great for both our sakes!

When do I get to go sailing? *stamps foot impatiently* You know I have some cute outfit just right for the deck.

FYI--I asked Tom for the contact info on his friend--he doesn't have it but will try to get it.

I'm going out with Captain Mike this sunday, why don't you come?

If you are sailing with the club, I don't think that he can bring more than one guest at a time.

Oh. well how about I do like Jack Dawson in titanic and just hang over the side?

We can take turns waterskiing behind the boat.

That only works if you have enough wind for the boat to move and pull you along. Both times that I have gone sailing with minstrel70, there have been periods of time when there was no wind at all. You might come to an abrupt stop.

Oh, I know. I've been waterskiing before--you generally need an engine--it was a joke, like the hanging over the side.

[minstrel70.livejournal.com]

The abrupt stop on the last sail had absolutely nothing to do with the wind :)

[mysticblaze.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't. :)

But I would just like to point out that it wasn't my fault. Moral of the story: do not try to go around the side of the Statue of Liberty closest to NJ.

Especially at low tide.

I'd also like to point out that I was neither at the helm nor navigating when this occurred.

I'll ask if a second guest can come. It may be possible, but they're generally hesitant to have two inexperienced people on one boat (out of a crew of four). Some things (shortening sail in foul weather or heavy wind, for example) require three people who've done it before.

Yay! Tell them I'll wear something cute. Maybe that'll convince them. And I do have an excellent sense of balance.

You forgot the sassy hair flip.

[minstrel70.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'll get you out on a boat soon!

As for Tom's friend, tell him it's not necessary to go to extraordinary lengths, but I do appreciate the effort. She was cute, but I'm not losing sleep over the missed opportunity. :)
