sailing
the beautiful and talented alisa and i have very different ideas about what sailing is all about. for me it's getting the pretty girl into a bathing suit (of the itty bitty kind) into your boat all alone on a lake with nice weather and nothing to do but grin like fools at each other. there's really no way to lose. for tbata though, it seems to be some sort of competition thing. even when it isn't. everything has funny names. it's like being at a ren-faire where everyone uses archaic terms for ordinary things. and the goal seems to be to maximize the wind chill factor. and the first step is get everyone wet. i like the catamarans better than the single hulled jobbers. the pretty girl can lie down and stretch out and just be ornamental on the comfy tarp between the floats. the trampoline in sail-speak.
