Geocaching is the bomb
Wow, it has been more than 3 months since my last blog post. I thought I would put an update on here. I have not been playing WoW hardly at all. I even decided to at least temporarily cancel my account. I can always reenable it later if I so desire.
Lately, as of about 2 months ago I started participating in the fastest growing outside sport, geocaching. It is where you use your handheld GPS device to search for hidden containers or caches. They will at the least contain a log book in order to document the find, but they also can contain small items, trinkets, or swag that can be swapped or traded. The joy is normally in the hunt and in discovering a new place that you never knew existed. My friend Jim got me started on this hobby when we went to the NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway a few months ago. I have been going almost non-stop ever since. I am now in a 'friendly' competition with Jim to overtake his find count. I even hid my first cache last weekend. Here are my stats so far.
I also am starting to take guitar lessons again next Thursday. I think this will be good for me to get back practicing on a more regular basis. It should be fun again.
