If You're Happy And You Know It...

I think the reason that I'm contemplating this is that while I have plenty of work, I have no play in my life. There's lots of play at work, don't get me wrong, but once I leave work, not so much. I used to do Paintball, which was some of the most fun I've ever had. I also used to go game at my local shop but there's no appeal there anymore after moving twice. I play with the kids, sure, but that only goes so far. I just don't have fun anymore, and it's wearing on me. I've contemplated getting a bike, but that would probably just kill me. Paintball is out since I uh...sold my equipment. Yeah, that's it and not my 40-year old body.
At the moment, I'm really at a loss. I know that they all say when the kids are in the years between birth and school your life essentially stops. That really sucks for us parents, you know?

Ooooh! You should look into Tae Kwon Do! There are a lot of families at our gym. It seems to be quite the family sport. And it's a BLAST! The bonus is that you get/stay in great shape and pick up some great self defense stuff. The family that kicks together sticks together, LOL!
Obviously I love TKD.

What's funny Candace, is that I actually have taken martial arts twice in my life. Not TKD, but Ishin-Ryu and Shotokan. Ishin-Ryu is "street fighter" karate and is a lot of fun. Shotokan wasn't much fun. It's a good idea though. I hadn't considered getting back into that. Thanks for the idea.
