I have been taking professional banjo lessons for the past few weeks, and so far I’m having a great time with it. So far I play a mean “Skip to my Lou,” and my “Old McDonald’s Farm” is coming along quite well. It will be a while before I challenge anyone to dueling banjos. I’ve also started Contra dancing, which is a fun activity where I can hear good bluegrass music being played, and where my two left feet don’t stand out so badly.

I played my first real game of ultimate frisbee at Cal State last Saturday and fell in love with it! Anyone that knows me knows that my coordination for throwing/catching sports is very poor. Somehow I’m able to hold my own in this game. We’re playing again this Sunday, and hopefully will keep it up. I found a regular Saturday morning game on craigslist that I’m going to check out this weekend. Lucky enough, I was shopping at REI on Sunday and found this great “Life is Good” frisbee (regulation size/weight) on clearance! Wahoo!
