… and finally, here’s my first time in the iFly chamber. A little rough but I was much better the second time around. Video of that one once I digitize it.

… it makes her say things she NEVER says, like “Right on!” 🙂
[audio:https://notso.silent-e.com/images/winning_wilco.mp3]Cathy and I have, off and on, talked about going to a gun range to see what it’s like. I’ve shot a rifle before but only once. It was skeet shooting and to say I wasn’t anywhere near the target is an understatement. I’m much better at the Wii Sports target shooting game.
I bet if gun range owners got a few of these for targets, I’d be able to hit ’em. 🙂

Amazing sheep herding
This is just crazy. I wish I could find sheepdog trials on tv again.

I play pool. I started playing at a startup I worked for named Alteon WebSystems back in 2001-ish. We had the obligatory pool table and we played and discussed solutions to problems until they were solved. Needless to say, we got a lot of play in. I started playing so much that I bought my own cue, accessories, etc. and joined the local league.
I play 8-ball and 9-ball but I’m only playing in the 8-ball league right now. It is competitive play with stats, scores, playoffs and tournaments, and there’s something called the “Top Shooter List”. This is a list of the top players in the league. I’ve been on and off it over the years. As my play improved I’ve been on it more and more.
This session has been particularly fun because even though we’re only four games in, I’ve haven’t lost a match. I’ve even had to play some much better players than me. I don’t think I’ve ever been undefeated after four matches. The exciting about this is that I’m once again on the top shooter list.
I am, however, not just ON the top shooter list… I am THE top shooter as of today!!! Something I’ve NEVER been!! WOOT WOOT!! See?
The other two highlighted lines are teammates. I wanted to give props to them too. Oh, and our team name? Say it fast. heh.
Of course, now I have a giant target on my back, and I’ve probably jinxed myself for wednesday. I hope not.
If you are interested in following my matches each week, I twitter them. Follow me and stay up to date.
