put yr weight into it

Much in the same way that I couldn't have foreseen going to Boca Raton, Florida, for the 2004 election, I don't think that I could have foreseen spending yesterday windsurfing. Just wasn't really on my list of things to learn. Moreover, who knew I'd enjoy it so thoroughly, despite my being really bad at it? In retrospect, it makes sense. I love being on/near water regardless of salinity or temperature. I detest things with motors on water (although there is this intense urge I have to take an Alaskan cruise). I like having to work for my motion on water—canoeing, kayaking, swimming. Windsurfing fits in there awesomely. You have to be attuned to what's going on in the air and the water much more than when you're canoeing across a placid lake (or Lake Placid, as it were). Plus I got to wear a wetsuit and look like an X-man.
