Current happenings
A couple of interesting things happened recently.
First off my sister who moved to Colorado stopped by without notice. It was nice seeing her and her husband. They seem to be doing well. We bumped into them at the Borders books store the next day. I hope to see them before they head back to Colorado later this week.
Second, I recently got an interesting email from one of my gaming buddies who I will refer to as GG.
Apparently GG thinks pretty highly of me, so highly that he ended up telling his wife's cousin all about me and suggesting that we would be good together. I am pretty flattered by that.
He was just letting me know that that had been on his mind lately, but he was not trying to go step over the friendship line by trying to hook me up (I am not sure where this line would actually be). I actually would not mind someone trying to introduce me to people every now and then. He has been trying to imporve himself as a person and improve relationships that he has with people by being more open with them.
This is something that I really need to work on too. I rarely tell people what I think or am feeling, I instead end up giving non-commital answers or not saying anything at all. I think I will send him an email reassuring him and saying that it is cool and that we should get together and hang or go and do something. I need to get out more and go out with people rather than all by myself.
On to other news. Last Saturday I decided to go to an archery range and fire some bows. I ended up trying a traditional recurve. I had a great time despite forgetting to put on a bracer and finger guards before it was too late. My left forearm was pretty swolen and black and blue. My right hand's fingers were numb and still are a bit. Still I had a great time and think that this is something that I can really enjoy doing on a regular basis. I went back on Tuesday after the tendons in my right hand were pretty much recovered. I shot for an hour and a half Tuesday and my fingers are not really sore at all today. It is not that expensive, $8 an hour for using the archery range and 5 for rental equipment. I think I may get my own equipment as it would be more enjoyable and I can learn my own bow's behaviour. There is someone at the range that is looking to sell a decent beginner bow, but he usually shows up on Friday evenging which are pretty busy for me. I will see if I can't catch him some other day.
Later.
