A patron of the arts does a handspring.

Here's an 8-second video of my front handspring from last Tuesday. It's a little surprising how solid and gymnast-y I look here. And it's way annoying how anticlimactic and EASY it looks. As with so many things, this move takes only moderate physical effort once you know how to do it, but learning it as an adult isn't easy.



In other news, I'm buying a statue, one that I've liked since 1997 or thereabouts. The one I'm getting is the very last one the studio had (though there is one more for sale at a gallery in Dallas, Texas). It's my first serious art purchase ever and I have nowhere good to display it, but if I hadn't made a move I would have regretted it intermittently for decades...



To hell with intermittent regret, I say.
