So today my mother asked to visit me at Christmas along with my father. 
At first I was pretty angry about it. No attempt at resolving what happened - just we’ll visit and it’ll all be ok. So I wrote her and told her (nicely) I would prefer a more peaceful Christmas. That the last two Christmases were awful and I was tired of all the drama. That’s not what Christmas is supposed to be about is it? It’s supposed to be people giving to others and spending time with people in a positive way. So I said no. It’s the right thing to do but it feels quite awful to deny your family a visit.

Archery October 11, 2009
So yesterday, in my effort to try new things, I tried archery with a friend Scadian friends. I really was thinking it would be nice to hang out with people, which it was. That was all I was expecting from archery. But it’s really fun! I’m going to try it a few more times before I start thinking about taking it up completely. I didn’t expect it to be so up my alley. It’s all about form and repetition, kind of like calligraphy. I like getting my aggressions out in a constructive way (that means shooting at a target is cathartic). And it’s going to take awhiel to master. I think I needed a new thing to master really. This might be it. Frankly, it’s going to take awhile. My shoulders are achy today and I barely hit anything yesterday. But next week!!!
Glee – I hope it lasts forever! October 6, 2009
Tonight I went to some friends’ house to visit. After dinner we sat down and watched three episodes of Glee, a new tv show about a high school glee club. It’s really funny, spot on how high school is/was, and the singing and dancing are great. OK the singing is great and the dancing is not great on purpose. It’s kind of like Fame gone awry. The only down side is that I’ve now got a song stuck in my head with no idea what it could be. My only hope is that the cheerios go down….
American Amber Ale October 5, 2009
Sorry for the long wait. I know you’re all dying to know my thoughts on this, that, and whatever. So tonight it will be on Rogue American Amber Ale. Yet again, I went for the Hazelnut only to find out that everyone else had as well. Sold out. So I’m trying American Amber Ale. I would say it’s got a smooth taste to it but the aftertaste is a bit tangy. I really prefer the creamier, caramelier taste of the hazelnut. This one is lighter tasting, which is good for such a fine evening. Good summery kind of beer. Not my favorite but not bad either. I’d drink it again if it came my way.
