I've often thought that racism won't die off until it's main promoters/practitioners have died off, and the U.S. lost one its most hateful bigots on Friday.

Sara at Orcinus gives Jesse Helms the sendoff he so richly deserves.

areas of my inexpertise

Ya'll frequently read here about my hobbies - fencing, sewing, fencing, costume, books and a bit of fencing :P What I obviously leave out are the hobbies I'd love to take up if it weren't for time/circumstance:

• weight lifting - Stumptuous tempts me to join a gym and lift some serious iron, but there are only so many hours in a day. Almost any other physical activity has to make it through my fencing filter ("will it help my game?") to be considered, and while I do lift dumbells to help me heft the rapier, anything more intense takes a back seat.
  
  Having said this, I am going to get to try out wall climbing a few weeks from now....
  
  
• Serious writing - I still write a little with friends in an RPG and have saved a few ideas here and there, but I haven't seriously dug into some of my solo ideas because of lack of time. I hang on to those notes though, because I love telling stories, and some snowed-in winter night I might flesh one out.
  
  
• Drawing/painting/other 2-d art - I drew a lot as a kid and an adult sketching class I took a few years ago enlightened me to how little I really knew about drawing! For now though, all my creative appetites are fed by sewing (though I keep a bin of art supplies, just in case).
  

What do y'all want to do, once you're able?
