Time is going fast

Long day. Car trouble.
Oh well, life goes on I guess.
I can't believe it's December already. I remember thinking, "man, I still have so far to go." And now it's like "BAM!" your already on the home stretch. It is a relief but sad too. I'm running out of time.

Practiced hard

Practiced hard tonight. It was fun. Threw on some music after Julia went to bed and got to work. I feel really pumped now. I think yesterday was a good reset for me. Having a rest day is really important. It gives you a day to rest your muscles and to do other things that you don't have time for during the week (like fiddlin'!). The trick is that you have to keep it the same day every week; I picked Sundays.
 It gives me a day to reset before going hard for the rest of the week.

still strummin'

Still practicing the violin. I've been learning a polka. I can't play it very fast yet, but it's coming. Not watching T.V anymore has definitely given me more time for other things.
It's neat doing things you always thought of doing but never actually did. I wonder what kind of things the Horse team members are going to accomplish next year. From what I've heard, some of the goals are pretty amazing.

Basic numbers: rest day

sword fun

I've been learning some new tricks with my broadsword. Trying to do more floppy type stuff. It's fun playing around with it. It gives you new inspiration to keep practicing. I'm working on around the neck and also over the shoulder. It's difficult but looks cool. Next I want to work on the behind the back toss.  Hopefully I don't kill my self....maybe it's time to break out the old wooden practice sword for a bit.
