Oh my gosh you have to try this!!!!!!!

Items you need:
Small packet of Pop Rocks candy (or equivalent)
1 cup of tasty beverage (your choice)
1 stethoscope (optional)

What to do:

1. Put all the Pop Rocks in your mouth
2. Wash them down with tasty beverage
3. Listen carefully to your stomach!

I just did this to see what would happen, and I could clearly hear the Pop Rocks popping inside my stomach! And I don't even have a stethoscope!!

I just wish Wende were here to laugh with me!

Karla has found a different location to which we might move our office. She likes it even better! I do too, because it's closer to my house!!!! Not just closer than the other new possible place, but closer than our current location! Way way way cool!!

KTRU was fun today; I recorded the whole show for Sford and friends at BBST. I tossed in a couple of sneaky references ... "We don't have 'Feather Boa' by Wild Rabbit..." It's an inside joke thing.

I'm a tad tired after last night but not ridiculously so.

unicycle

10:01pm CDT Wednesday 10 May 2000

So I didn't go to ultimate after all. Got downstairs and thought... "unicycle" because I haven't ridden in a while and my (borrowed) unicycle is right here in my trunk, while ultimate is way over there in a field.

I did relatively great! I successfully turned 360 degrees within the radius of our street (3 cars wide) plus sidewalk (including going up and back down the slight driveway slope)! In the intersection of two 3-lane streets (I'm talking 3 lanes total - two for parked cars and one for traffic in between) I successfully turned 360+ degrees more than once! Super cool. And once just once I felt perfectly relaxed while riding. Normally my muscles are all tense and jumpy. I think a lot of being able to relax is sitting correctly on the seat (so that all my weight points straight down through the center of the wheel).

At one point a girl driving by stopped. "That is so coool!!" She described a guy in Jamaica that could ride a tall unicycle "just like it was his own feet" and how she was so impressed by him! We talked a bit, and I thanked her for her encouragement!

Rode around some more until sweat drenched my shirt, making me too hot n sticky to wanna ride. Great job, Rob!
