Football Epilogue

Geeze, it's been almost two months since my last post. I've finally found a window of time that coincides with the energy and desire to write in this little corner of the internet. I apologize to my avid reader(s) if you missed me. Trust me, I missed your anonymous upticks on my stats page as well.  Much has happened during the vacuous void of my absence from the blogging universe. In short, I've been busy. Here's a rundown of what all went down: 1. Lent Oddly, my absence correlates with the start of the lenten season. This is mostly coincidence as my original lenten sacrifice was going to be fountain soda when I eat at restaurants (gas station hot dogs count as restaurant food too, right?).  I'm not overly religious, but I do like the idea of periods of self-temperance and abstinance (get your mind(s) out of the gutter, I'm meaning in a general sense). This first world "sacrifice" actually went quite well and actually I lost a big chunk...

...a new record for me (I think). I was took a mental and physical holiday last weekend and stayed with my aunt and uncle near Portland. I had a dear old friend getting married which presented the opportunity. I decided I was just going to try to be helpful, but in the moment for the duration of the trip. I was able to maintain that for the most part. As the title says I got to play a bit of golf at Tri-Mountain Golf Course in Ridgefield, WA. Admittedly my diet wasn't the best as there were many beers consumed, some from a high school friend's brewery in Seattle ( Chainline Brewery ), but it was overall good for the soul to see good family, old friends and relax a little.
