Let’s take stock of our year, shall we?

We managed to turn a high school kid into a college kid (and if you don’t think that’s a goal, you have not been paying attention.)

We pursued a big dream, a scary one, and spent six weeks in New Hampshire proving that we weren’t silly for dreaming this dream.

We lost weight!

We played division one at nationals, and managed to achieve our two primary goals: don’t embarrass ourselves and stay away from cameras.

We found music again. (And thanks, Santa, for the blues studies!)

We survived roller coasters and didn’t throw up or give up.

"we" managed to conquer fear and ride scary ponies! we managed to go from, "Oh my god, she's walking FASTER!" to "Cut the crap, you little shit, now GO and quit that pesky bucking."

Life is a little tough these days. Taking a break. I will be back with more tales of grasshoppers and compost heaps and scrabble games soon.

Last night was the first meeting of the writing group. It is a quirky group. The other Odyssey grad seems like a good contact to have. He told me about a group led by Ted White near here. I’m thinking about looking into that one, too. I suppose I can’t be gone every evening. Anyway, this group (the one from last night) will force me to produce at least two pieces a month. That alone is worth the price of admission. Well, the price of gasoline, anyway.

It’s January 31. I’m sure you all know what that means! Yes, it’s time to give Marsh some advice. Here’s my little dilemma. I like the way this blog is going. (I know, some of you think it needs a bit more spice, excitement. To quote one reader: “what you need is more scrabble porn.”) But I also want to take advantage of some of the features of livejournal, particularly the community features. So I was thinking about (and actually made) a more scrabble-oriented version at livejournal. Maybe I will take some of my general scrabble posts here and expand upon them over there. I don’t know. I don’t really want to just have two identical blogs. Honestly, though, I don’t want to only post about scrabble over there, either. So. Advise me!
