Today I nipped out from work for a bit in the afternoon to waltz on down to the DMV for my driving test. I wasn’t too worried about it – perhaps too little so, as I didn’t even think to really revise the road rules book until about two hours beforehand. I did, though I… Read more
Last night I went to a place called Sky High Sports, where they have a large number of trampolines all piled together. It doesn’t seem terribly exciting, but time passes surprisingly quickly, and it’s a surprisingly good workout.
