Solid Weekend

This weekend went quite well. Frisbee was a lot of fun, in spite of not having any close friends there. My guys from Wright State were, as always, incredibly friendly and helpful. It's nice to know that even if we don't really know each other that well, we can just relax and be ourselves. That's how life should be.

The team lost all three games, but winning the All-Star game was exciting. Along with winning a new light-up frisbee. Getting picked for people's fantasy team was hilarious and so much fun. Needs to happen more.

I loved getting to spend time with Katie. I may have been in an incredible amount of pain, as I still am, from frisbee, but it still felt good. Her family was incredibly nice and evidently I left a good impression upon them. Always helps to be yourself I suppose. Minus having to wear a kufi the entire time due to my ridiculous tan/burn line.

Driving back today was beautiful. I throughly enjoyed myself. Normally, getting lost would piss me off, but I loved it. I just kept driving. I had little idea where I was, but just kept going and made my way home. I hope everyone involved in the accident that resulted in my detour is alright.

Getting back and checking my email and everything, I realized how little I need this. The only worthwhile thing was an email from Dan about his dad. He suffered his second stroke and is in hospice. Seeing Dan's wise words about the frailty of life really rung through to me. I need to finally get ahold of him and Courtney. Perhaps Tim too. These people left an impact on me, helped to change my life for the better, and I can't just let them go away. I feel a need to remind them what they mean to me. My heart goes out to Dan during this time.
