Happy New Year!
Been some time, I know. Might as well recap what I can recall..
The fishing trip I mentioned in the last post was a bust... well... in terms of actual fish catching. Otherwise it was a kickass weekend in the woods with the boys. OMR managed to forget his sleeping bag... I think it went down to like 4 degrees overnight. What a guy.
Moved in with my lady in October. Big step. Sort of. I mean, essentially we've been living together pretty much since jump street, we just alternated between staying at each others places. So, in a nutshell, the only difference is paying less rent. I'll take it! I'm pleased to report that things are going well. I've managed to find a woman who can stand to be around me for more than 6 consecutive minutes, so naturally I intend to hold on to her like grim death. Again, a joke. Things are good on the love front. That is all.
Brought her home to meet the family at Christmas. All went well. Mom liked her, which I'm pretty sure is all that matters. Matt & Dana got hitched in St. John's over the holidays. Kickass time. Great to see everyone. Kind of like a mini-reunion, but like always, was too short.
Still gainfully unemployed. I think this has to be some kind of a record. Anyway... I know, I know, I'm an idiot. We're going to be looking for a new place in the spring, so I need to get my act together in the next month or so to make sure that process runs smoothly. I'm thinking about something in technical sales, but we'll see what's available and go from there.
Curling is going well... playing twice a week now. Skipping on Sundays which is a lot of fun, but challenging. I'm going to try and start teaching some of the new folks in the spare hour before our evening game. Not sure how good of a curling instructor I'll be, but it's something that people have said they want and I'm pretty sure I can do. Fun times.
Turning the big 3-0 in less than 2 weeks now. Pretty wild. I'm not really freaked out.... but it definitely feels a little strange. At the end of the day, I always say that age is just a number. But this is a big number. Anyway... you're only as old as you feel and I sure as hell don't feel all that old, so I'm happy with that.
Anyway... that's my spiel for now. Hope all is well with you, my readers, wherever you are. All the best for 2011!
Cheers,
Reid
