5.24.98 It has been a month since last I spoke. Not me, literally, but through my web present voice. I am sorry for the absence. Just yesterday, I fired my first gun. It was exhilerating. I don't really know what to say about it, though. If you have gone target shooting before, you know what I am talking about. If you havent, you don't. There are so many things like that in life. You can't always speculate accurately on whether or not you will like something. There really is no substitution for the real thing. The funny thing is that so often people will speak ill of something that they have never done, seen, smelled, tasted, heard, felt,... Basically, go out and try stuff you'd don't know if you like or not. Remember: Doing you own thing is so much better than doing nothing.
