Takin' Up Golf. Big Time.

So, how do you keep yourself busy in a small town? Well, first get tons of friends to hang out in the weekends. Sure. I have many good friends and acquaintances here in Cedar Falls. And my weekends here are busier than those of in DC! The week-day evenings also have been quite OK. I am quite occupied on some evenings - working on my "other" job at UMD, going to Wal-Mart, and basically driving around.

I finally took up golfing big time here in Iowa. I'm loving golfing so much so that I went ahead and invested in a pretty slick golf kit. I'm hitting the driving range quite often - more often than in Maryland. Also, I've been taking formal golf lessons just because! The prices for golf lessons are practically free compared to those of the DC prices. The golf courses here are pretty pristine and not busy at all. So, I've been enjoying my golfing adventures quite a bit. I've also been taking a few of my buddies here who have never been golfing. Overall, it is working out nice!

In DC for the weekend...

I'm in DC for 3 days and I can't be more excited! I had a meeting at
UMD on Friday and I'm staying over for the weekend.

Some random thoughts...

It is quite interesting how your perception of "home" changes,
depending on where you live and for how long. I had lived in Iowa for
two years and it was always "home" for me. Now that I had lived in DC
for three years, I now consider it home!!

I love being back here, I love enjoying the DC sunshine, and I just
love my life and my friends here!

As I sit outside this wonderful outdoor cafe enjoying a drink with my
friends, I realize how much I miss my life here.
