UP LIFTING

It's not your birthday. Or Christmas. But I got you a present.

A special one.

Savor this:


Oh, you're so welcome.

From time to time everyone needs a good laugh at someone else's expense. My gift to you.

•••

The who: Yours Truly
The year: 2001
The location: somewhere in Honolulu
The body weight: A good 20lbs more than now
The what-the-heck-is-she-doing: Powerlifting. Competitively. In front of a crowd. After a weigh-in. Not even kidding.
The why: It was fun

The proof that I am less interested in my dignity than my amusement.

Again, you're quite welcome. Enjoy your Thursday.

    Love it. I called Norm over to look at it too. He was shocked. His words - "That's a lot of weight for her. She looks good there." See now you guys can talk powerlifting, I'm sure he would love it.

    I remember these days. See this is Shorsha in her prime, people! Question: Do you know where other power lifter Diana is? Or how to get ahold of her? It'd be fun to catch up with "Diry Di!" Ah, Adam and his nicknames!

    I did really enjoy that as I had NO idea you participated in such events...or used to! You never struck me as a beef-neck.
