Archery. Lots and lots of archery. I can't tell you why without giving to much information away, but the ways of bows and arrows and I are engaged in a courtship of sorts. I intend to become quite intimate before all is said and done.
Small side note, did you know that it is generally frowned upon to practice archery in public places? The authorities are even less pleasant with you when you're learning and not very good yet. And they don't play favorites, whether it's a recurve, reflex or longbow, all are considered unacceptable by the police. It's a truly mixed message because they sell them at virtually every sporting goods store and there's no waiting period or warning when purchasing not to use said bow in a public park!
Anyway, that's what ye old shuck n jive author is up to right now. It may not sound that exciting, but you should know that I consider it essential to my survival.
On a completely unrelated note, I'm typing this post on my desktop computer. It occurs to me that I've become very dependent on my iPhone auto-correcting things for me and capitalizing the first letter of every sentence as well as those isolated "I's" I'm so inclined to use when describing myself. There's really not much more to say about that, but I thought you'd like to know.
Lastly, I've started taking a writing class at Second City. I have almost no doubt that over the next month, some of my writing assignments will butcher their way into this blog because I'm lazy and have no other good ideas. Fair warning.

Archery was a trend back in my high school days, because these archery ranges started opening up in malls. I was nowhere near as good or as cool-looking when I was trying it out as I wanted to be; hopefully you have overcome those hurdles.
i really liked archery in school until someone positioned his bow and arrow incorrectly and ended up with some feathers imbedded in his thumb. i was unfortunately there to see it and the image is seared in my mind.
as for caps, obviously that doesn't bother me. it's the misuse of most all the other grammar and spelling rules that i can't stand.
Wow - I'd go with the longbow. So many historical associations: Agincourt, Crecy, etc... Takes more skill than one of those pulleyed contraptions with a telescopic sight...
Syar: I can't think of a good reason not to have an archery range at the mall. They go together like peanut butter and snails.
Cadiz: I'm still not entirely sure how you end up with feathers embedded in your thumb...
Anonymous: Of course you'd go with the longbow. But what if you're in a dense forest? Besides, who has time to monologue about Saint Chrispin's day?
