It's been quite a while since I've written here. Mainly we've just been busy doing a ton of new things, and I haven't had much time to write. That, and to be honest, most of the things we've been doing aren't overly appropriate for discussion on a public blog! ;)

But, since a friend yesterday told me how much he admires the passion I have for the things I write about, I figured I better start writing again!

Let's see, as I mentioned in the last post, we upgraded our ham licenses - I'm Extra class, and she's General, so we've got quite a lot of privileges on most of the bands. Our antenna system is still not setup, as we want to make sure it's done right, and with minimal risk of damaging the roof. We've heard that a roof is kind of important, so...

She has been learning to shoot. And by "learning to shoot" I mean "making me look bad." She's got a Ruger Mk. III base model, and she makes it look like a top end target model. I'm just amazed every time we go out to the range. :)

As far as gaming goes, well, I've been playing Everquest. Not II, just regular old Everquest. Dead? Hell no! The game is doing very well; lots of people are playing. EQ is a game that does require a time investment to "get things done," and I don't have a lot of time, so I'm not really "doing" much in the game. My reason for playing is that some dear friends are playing, and just seeing their names in chat makes me happy, so I log in and do stuff with them when I can. <3 Rhy and Prev. (And Drass!) Plus, to be in the skin of Sovek again is a wonderful thing.

As far as other stuff, well, like I said, a lot of it is inappropriate for discussion on a public blog. And the stuff that is, I'm not comfortable detailing yet, really. Let's just say we've been more or less forced, or at least "urged" to reevaluate a lot of what we believe and do. And it's been a good process, returning to old things, but with new eyes. As to the inappropriate stuff, I know you readers are curious, so I will just say that we've learned that never doesn't always mean never, and that adventures are good. ;)

I'm out of practice with writing, so I do apologize for the rambling nature of this entry. I will try to make it a priority to at least post once a week. And thank you, Tad, for spurring me to get writing again. :)
