Catching up from a crazy week.

I missed writing last week. Not posting a blog last week made me worry that I would fall back into my old habits. So, Here I am with nothing to talk about, but I need to write something. I haven’t written about running in quite awhile, because I haven’t been running in forever. I want to get back into it, but I think I need a treadmill. For some reason treadmills relax me as I run on them, I like blasting my tunes and I love being able to push myself to stay at a constant speed. Having said that, if anyone know where I can buy a cheap (and I do mean CHEAP) treadmill in the Eagle River/Anchorage area, let me know. Then maybe I could write about running again…I’m too lazy to get all dressed up to run in the winter here in Alaska.

My sporting clays team is currently in second place with one week to go. Last week we crushed it and got the maximum six points. I shot decently on 5-stand and Super Skeet, but Wobble Trap is where I made my push this week. I killed 25 out of 25 on Wednesday night, for the second time since I started this last year (first time this season).
Wobble trap is not one of the hardest games to play, but 100% is still something to be proud of. Now if I could do it in one of the other games you guys would never hear the end of it.

I still haven’t seen Avatar (yeah!). Erin finally started hearing some negative reviews and stopped trying to convince me to see it. I am going to see The Book of Eli this Friday night and will do a little write up of my thoughts on this page next week.

Sunday’s service was great. I am so pumped to be digging into Joshua for the next six months. The worship set went good from what I could tell, it felt pretty solid. I’m never sure with the country songs, I sweat bullets the whole time and my hands are shaking after we finish. I think it’s the fact that there is just a solid beat going and nowhere to hide if you mess up. Thank God for the Sunday morning practices. In addition to the country song, I was able to try out a couple licks/grooves that I worked on during the week. It’s good to have that last practice to see what works and what doesn’t right before we play. Some licks sound great when I’m at home playing along with the CD’s, but they don’t always translate well to playing with everyone else. If feels good to be experimenting a little more every week, I’ll take a few mistakes and wrong notes here and there as long as I keep growing musically.

By the way, February 10th through April 25th will be the best time to be in Alaska this year. Why is that you ask? I present to you what I believe will be one of the greatest exhibits to ever grace this town we call home: Star Wars, where science meets imagination. That’s all I have to say on the subject. Follow the link to the Anchorage Museum and check it out for yourself.
