Today I went to the shooting range with bigj, potsie, and scooty and shot a handgun for the first time in my life. It pretty much scared the shit out of me. Considering I've never even held a gun or any ammo, let alone fired one I was pretty freaked out. Jason suggested a Glock 19 which seemed like a decent enough choice. Jared however was firing some sort of cannon two booths away from mine and it was louder than hell, that was a little disconcerting. We all shot 50 rounds and I'd say I did pretty good. Overall it was a good experience.

After that I put up some Christmas lights, which was quite gratifying. I have some more work to do, modifications to the house and what not. But overall I'd say it worked out pretty good. I did have to trim my bushes in a couple of places to get make the lights visible. I'll finish getting most of the rest of things squared away by tomorrow.

After that a little impromptu get together/dinner was held at my place. Mario Cart was played, as was Catchphrase and Jason and Sarah pretended to use each other's arms. A good time was had by all.
