Otter's Rock

Right now I'm at a seminar that's just absolutely wonderful.  The class has been great, and there's been free time to wander around Seattle and do touristy things.  Also, this afternoon I was able to go out with my brother and sister-in-law, and we had a great time.  The problem is, my left hip has never been quite right, and all the walking I've done this last week has it screaming.  (It's gotten worse since I was a kid and all it did was make learning to do the breath-stroke harder than it should have been in swimming lessons.)  I know, I know, if I were a better girl and did more exercise, it would not hurt as much now.  And there are a lot of people who have worse problems than me.  It is still Not Fun to get back to my host home at 9:00 at night and have to hold both the wall and the rail to make it down the stairs.  Not-quite-thirty-year-olds aren't supposed to have these kinds of problems.  But the class has been absolutely wonderful.

Also, winged_mammal won me in help_haiti and has several very interesting Data gen prompts to choose from, which I am looking forward to writing as soon as I'm not in a seminar anymore and have time to re-watch episodes and think.  (BTW, does anyone know if TNG episodes are available online anywhere?  I only have season three on DVD, and the eps I need are later in the series.)
