Today was the last class of this session. I had a stressful day at work so I was totally worn out by the time I got to the Flyhouse, which makes accomplishing any tricks about 100 times more difficult.

In order to to this trick, it helps to yell “Olé!” as you flip around.

A few crunches

And finally Dirty Dredlock

I was so tired after class I went home and passed out on the couch. I had a ticket for the Strung Out show, but I decided I should take care of myself and just stay home. I was in bed by 11 and finished reading Water For Elephants, which is now one of my favorite books.

At first it was just a beautifully written story of a man’s life, flipping between his time working on a traveling circus in 1931 and present day as a 90-something living in a nursing home. But a few chapters in the story became more complicated and mysterious and by the end, what I thought was happening was completely turned upside down. No matter what kind of books you are into, the story is heartbreaking and beautiful and I guarantee you will be wrapped up in it in no time. I can totally see Oprah snapping this one up for her book club, so you better get on the train asap.
