Sweet ladder monkey bars!  (Don't die on them?  Lol.)

Awesomeness for me today: birthday party.  May or may not have involved larping.  I'd post the group pic, but I can't figure out how...  :-X  Anyway... I think we set a world record for most girls larping (4) and most quadraplegics larping (1)... but maybe not.  Hella awesome fun times.

Went out and patterned in an old western style bolt-action shotgun that Sarai and I restored recently.  I like antique firearms.  My Dad had to brag about an old overstamped WW1 Ruby Pistol he bought, but I was still super proud of our restore of a piece of history.  If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I'd buy antique military arms, but I have shoes to buy :).

Well, I went to the park to train for my physical agility test next week with the police dept. I was trying to get over a 5 ft wooden wall that someone had the sense of humor to varnish. While I was there trying to figure out my best strategy to get over & trying to visualize how to do a parkour, a couple came up looking at the wall. The husband made several attempts to go over it, with no luck. So I started talking to them and explaining the different techniques depending on if you are male or female and size. Once I showed the wife the different techniques she was able to go over it WITH NO PROBLEM. Me on the other hand was still defeated by the wall. My shoes just couldn't get any traction going up the wall. I would be halfway up, and my feet would just slide down like they were greased. She is training for some kind of special event and I'm glad that I was able to help her.

I also took my daughter to girl scouts before I did my training today. I guess thats about as awesome as I got today... But if I make the police dept, then I will be doing awesome things every day and making a difference. In the mean time, I support my police dept every chance I get. They really rock and are very supportive of me and are encouraging me greatly in this new adventure I am on. YEAHH!!!

I can understand how that would be important to the finance.

I saw my Grandpa this weekend, he's not doing so hot, but his spirits are high and he's still loving life.

Perhaps your stock broker can help advise you how to tell the finance.

Awesome things today:
-Went to record store, ran into old friend.  This conversation took place:
Her: What are you getting?
Me: Um, a little bit of old school Anthrax, and some Belle and Sebastian.
Her: You confuse me, in a good way.

-Did some training.  Hit the biggest cranes & precisions since I've been back, things I used to do.  While training had a great running conversation with Christian Fairfax about training flow, footwork, and the things in between moves, rather than focusing on always pushing to hit larger gaps, etc.  It's so awesome to train with the same people for years and grow and learn and bounce ideas off each other.  Most of my session today focused on that stuff that Christian and I talked about.  Great evening of training.
