World Wrestling Federation, Dwayne Johnson, NOT!  This is so perfect.  The introduction ties in beautifully with the conclusion.  WWF no longer exists!  Who knew?!?  My young readers will be baffled by this post.  My experienced readers should get a chuckle.

I have been going non-stop since I returned to Perth.  I moved.  I moved again.  Yes, that’s right I am no longer in Port Kennedy.  I am in Cooloongup, an Aboriginal name if you hadn’t guessed.  I care for two dogs and two cats, tutor four students, kayak as often as I can, attend lectures Tuesday evenings, and study at the Murdoch Rockingham Campus when I’m not sleeping or doing Yoga on Monday.

After kayaking through a storm and experiencing a towing rescue (yes, I was the one being towed), I redeemed myself by perfecting the “Diehl Roll.”  That’s where you have your hands all out of position, but you come up anyway.  My Coach says he’s going to see if he can master it tomorrow.

My housemate is gone and I found a video, not a DVD, of The Rock, with Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage, and Ed Harris.  It was exactly what I needed.  Two hours of all consuming entertainment.  Not only that, but I have been completely accepted.  Jackie and Jesse (resident cared for dogs) enjoyed the movie sitting on my lap.  But the icing on the cake was rewinding the video.  Remember that?  For my young readers, let me explain.  In the olden days, pre-Blue Ray, DVD, 3D, TiVo, and Internet, movies that you rented or bought used to come on a videotape that wound from reel to reel.  Kind of like a large cassette tape, but you wouldn’t know that if you don’t know about videos and VCR‘s.  The whizzing and whirring brought back fond memories of recording Star Trek and the actual occurrence of something going wrong and you didn’t get to see your show.  There was no internet to watch any show at any time.  We actually wondered about things back then.  If you wanted to know something, you had to go to a library!  I know, unimaginable!

Don’t get me wrong, I love my Internet and the clear crisp images now available, but there was value, I think, in wondering about something.
