Maybe impossible. Maybe not.
For now, I'm getting settled into a place in town; going out to open
mic night on Wednesdays; starting Thursday night bowling, as of
tonight; going to see whatever band is playing locally on Friday
nights; and then whatever may come up on the weekend. Last weekend,
it was just staying around the new place, reading and doing a little
bit to fix it up.
I'm trying to work on me - again. Got some stuff to start doing some
art work. We'll see how it goes.
