  <title>What&apos;m I up to???</title>
  <link>http://beckenham.livejournal.com/1016.html</link>
  <description>Well, not a whole helluva lot.&amp;nbsp; I haven&apos;t been here in a LONG time, but have enough folks needling me so I thought I&apos;d at least enter something......&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now in Indy - made the move here in January of this year.&amp;nbsp; Much better than it was in Ohio...why?&amp;nbsp; Dunno...a number of reasons:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1] I&apos;m not out in the boonies anymore&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;2] I&apos;m closer to civilization&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;3] I&apos;m WAYYYY closer to $tarbux&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;4] Wayyy more friends here - and more on the way, lol&amp;nbsp; (Rusteh! Cathyn! Layna! Cam! .....and, funny, they just keep addin on more!]&lt;br /&gt;5] Plenty o&apos; fightin&apos; here - with various levels&lt;br /&gt;6] Pennsic is *still* drivable&lt;br /&gt;7] Not workin&apos; (I&apos;m testing out semi-retirement....la la la....&amp;nbsp; hate me?&amp;nbsp; Nya!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do miss the pool tho.&amp;nbsp; Sigh.&amp;nbsp; But it&apos;s been a good haul here - I&apos;ve got more of the moving boxes emptied here than I did in 4 years [wow, it&apos;s been that long?] at the Ohio place.&amp;nbsp; This just feels more like home.&amp;nbsp; Yeh, I do miss Da West - I mean, c&apos;mon, how couldn&apos;t I?&amp;nbsp; Far too many times and people that wandered thru my life and I wandered thru theirs to not miss &apos;em.&amp;nbsp; But, I gets ta visit now and then... Estrella, Pennsic, an occasional trip to a West event.&amp;nbsp; Next one?&amp;nbsp; Dunno....we shall see.&amp;nbsp; The last one [12th nite last year] was actually a bit bizarre.&amp;nbsp; Bastion and I had some rather interesting adventures....it seemed like there were a bunch of vingettes, peculiarly strung together, making no sense at all.&amp;nbsp; I mean some truly odd and boggling things that, individually, might have seemed interesting, but WHAM!, these were all in one evening.&amp;nbsp; If I&apos;d seen the bearded lady or the half-fish man, I woulda just chalked it up to the whole bizzaro event.&amp;nbsp; Ask folks...it was just...wierd.&amp;nbsp; [Ys - remember the 3 drunk guys in the lobby, that when they left, gave the bare ass.... your comment was priceless.]&amp;nbsp; Ah, well.... memories like that can&apos;t be made up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fighting?&amp;nbsp; Yup.&amp;nbsp; However, I screwed up my right arm at a tourney [ok, ok... I got pissed &apos;cuz I died to some roadbump when I was screwin around -- who me? -- so I went ape shit on the next guy.&amp;nbsp; Yeh, I got him, but tore a tendon.&amp;nbsp; Bright.&amp;nbsp; Graceful, even?&amp;nbsp; Pah.&amp;nbsp; So, I&apos;ve finally started taking care of it - theraputic exercises, icepaks, light workouts, and fighting left handed.&amp;nbsp; Man, you can SEE the guys salivate when I come out - but luckily there&apos;s still a &quot;scare&quot; factor I get to use on some of them, anyway.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully by Pennsic I&apos;ll get to use my right arm - otherwise I&apos;ll be a pell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that&apos;s enough for now.... mebbe we&apos;ll chat at Pennsic....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S</description>
