There are still surprises after all these years!

I ran up the stairs at one point and was waiting for Joe and Evan at the top and realized I wasn't out of breath. That was too cool! (Okay, that's partially because I have exercise induced asthma and am amazed any time my chest doesn't get tight when I move a lot. )

That's amazing. Running up the stairs still surprises. I used to avoid stairs! Pretty cool! You look fabulous btw!

I have asthma too which sucks when I want to excersize outside and it's cold. My chest still closes up. But at least in bit outta breath because of my weight!

Yay, how fun! I can relate: I went to SteamCon back in October. It was much more fun, and less tiring, to attend while not super morbidly obese.

I fight badgers with spoons.

Cool! There were a few absolutely beautiful steampunk costumes at PAX. I love that style; it combines such interesting elements. :-)
