i am a leaf in the wind

introducing: slacklining, the new hobby that has occupied hours of my time everyday since Friday. As opposed to a 'tight rope' this is a 'slack line' and the object is to step onto the line, balance, walk, and perform tricks. It is a full-body work out and especially good for rock climbers. It is also a lot of fun and a great group activity. The group here happens to be very welcoming and interesting. It's been great having found a nice social niche that I can fall back on.
