I'm about ready to try dinner rolls!  After 5 (or is it 6) lessons - y'all
must have heard my tales of nonrolling woe by now - still no roll. However,
I am now awesome at hanging upside down in the water and contemplating  the
meaning of life, since there's no point trying to figure out what do with
the paddle. It doesn't seem to make any difference anyway ;)  I have been
shown and have tried so many different rolls that I don't know one from the
other any more. I  need to find one that looks right to me and just gently
refuse to let anyone teach me their favorite, just stick with one, whether
it's 'ideal' or not, till I get it. Thee's a pool session with the Victoria
Canoe and kayak Club this Saturday. This could be it! (snicker)

Diane, hopeless at rolling
