I am about five pages away from having filled an entire notebook by left hand. I've been practicing since the spring. I'm getting pretty neat and pretty fast. Making my body do what I want it to is great fun. On Tuesday I also climbed into a tree from the ground to a branch about level with my face, which I've never been able to do. I started by walking up the trunk while holding the branch I wanted to get on to, then hanging by my knees, and finally swinging my hips over and sitting up. Then I went higher.
