Spinning can be great exercise and certainly helps me keep in shape during the cold and rainy times. Tuesday night's class was a good one. Our instructor, Kelly, took us through a number of climbing routines with the appropriate music and then the song began. Yes, she had chosen a contemporary version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Everyone remembers the first time they saw The Wizard of Oz and heard Judy Garland sing the song the way only she could. While the song may seem sad, one can't help but feel hopeful about things when they hear it. I'm not sure who was singing the contemporary version of the song Kelly had on her spin track, but it took me over the next climb Kelly had chosen for us.
I've been thinking about taking another surfing trip. However, I probably just need to take some lessons in Galveston and renew my "oneness" with the board before taking a trip to some exotic locale. I've been doing some research and have a few names to call. In addition to an instructor, like most things worth accomplishing, a little hard work, some water "time," and diehard determination go a long way.
