i don't really know how this blog site is going to work. i'm working on it though. please give me some time to adjust.
i have been enjoying myself more lately. this break has been nice and refreshing.

a few nights ago i went to chris and joey's home

it was nice to get out and do something different. i met some new people too, which is always a good thing.

the next morning i went to get some skis at the sniagrab sale. i happened to pick up everything i needed. i'm so happy and, of course, can't wait for it to snow. it actually got pretty chilly last night too...so there might be some hope for it happening in the near future.

If you're just doing things in the moment and not reflecting on how you could do them better, it's very unlikely you'll improve. The takeaway: Focus on technique, even during playtime. Mindless participation is not enough.
