In part, the reason I am keeping this blog is so that my family and pals can keep tabs on me.  However, I am also working with it as a way to get some new skills.  So, today I am tackling something which I do not yet know how to do: embed YouTube video on the page.

As you likely know, YouTube has scads of fun stuff to look at– and plenty about Cambodia.  However, in the name of giving respect where it is due (and a shout out to a friend who really rocks the knox blocks), I offer here for you a performance on the static trapeze by my buddy Natalie.  It has nothing to do with my work or Cambodia or anything.  This was part of a student recital from back in September 2006 at the Streb Lab for Action Mechanics, in Brooklyn.  I don’t know her teachers’ names, otherwise I would sing their praises here for cranking out such a great group of students.  Natalie herself had been training for about a year at the time.  The video runs around 7 minutes.

Any of you in the New York area ought to watch out for these SLAM folks– I bet Natalie has another performance coming up soon.  If nothing else, they had free popcorn!

There is something of a circus scene here too, with a circus school up in Battambang (a ways northwest of Phnom Penh).  I am not plugged into that scene at all, which is probably for the better in terms of keeping me from running away and joining anything!
