Re: [Paddlewise] play on words

    I don't know about other people, but when I first started rolling I would 
look for nearly any excuse to roll. I couldn't get enough, it was darn right 
intoxicating. Maybe I was trying to compensate for something that was missing 
in my life. If I started to go over, I'd make no attempt at a brace and just 
tuck in for the roll. After a while criticism of excessive capsizing, and 
several blackouts, pushed me to actually learn to perform a high brace. Now I 
brace rather than roll and have committed myself to be a recreational roller 
only. You know, the "I can stop at any time" kind, or "I only roll at social 
occasions".  I never roll before noon, and I only roll on the weekends, well 
maybe every Blue Moon during the week.
    So experiment, if you must, but don't that the roll control your life!  
Rolling will not make you a better person, but it sure impresses the sh_t out 
of the non-paddling-landlubbers. Force your spouse to roll, or get a spouse 
that already rolls, no one should ever have to roll alone. Lastly don't roll 
and drive, it's a poor mix at best.
