The stand up challenge – Follow-up

The challenge:  Sit on the floor.  Without assistance, stand up.  No touching walls, cabinets, or furniture.  For every time your hand, elbow, or knee touch the floor, count one point.  Stand up with the fewest points possible.

Best answer:

Yes, I was able to get up without touching the floor or walls with my hands, knees, or elbows.  ZERO points subtracted.  THANK YOU FIRST RESPONDERS.

Good one!

And one for-real yes.  “I can do this.”  from our friend who happens to be a yoga instructor.

Boysenberries

Does anybody remember boysenberries?

Mom always had jams and jellies for us to put on toast and tarts.  Apricot, blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, boysenberry.  I haven’t thought about boysenberry for maybe fifty years.  I don’t know what just triggered it.  Is boysenberry still a thing?  Was it ever a thing outside Southern California?  Did it extend beyond Knott’s Berry Farm?

To be fair though, I think I should get to subtract my age from the total.

And happy football fans.  The previously unranked Buffs, now ranked #22, at home taking on the perennial division foe Nebraska.  36 to 14 CU.  Coach says “We’re coming.”  We think they’re here!

The #11 Texas Longhorns win against #3 Alabama was great fun too.

Yay football season.  Go Broncos tomorrow!
