Last night was a blogger/twitter meet up for business people in my area and me (ha!). I wasn’t feeling 100% so I wasn’t as social as I normally am. But it was really nice to see a lot of new faces compared to the other events I’ve been to / heard about when it’s the same group of people that always attend.

Since am I a transplant to this area, events like this are nice! Though I wish more dragon boaters would attend so I don’t feel so alone. But I hung out mostly with people I already knew like Rebecca, Raul, Gary, Rainer and a few others but I do say it was still a great event.

Gotta say it is funny when all you see is a crowd of people who all are staring at their gadgets tweeting and not socializing to the person beside them.

As of this morning, I was/am a happy ~~camper~~ err paddler. My doctor gave me the okay to start working out again , however I can’t paddle for another two more weeks. I was expecting a month off from the water aka the whole of April and then slowly work up to being in competitive shape once again. EKK!

Would you go to an event of local bloggers/twitters in your area?
How was your day today?

Back in high school, I heard about the Battle of Culloden but never really paid to much attend to it. Once you hear about one battle you hear about them all. There are way to many battles to remember them all.

Though over the weekend was looking up some information on my Dad’s Mom side of the family and found out that her 4th great grandpa (my 6th) was one of the Jacobite’s that was killed in the Battle of Culloden which ended today over 246 years ago. I’m sure other family members were also in the battle but lack of information kind of sucks. I guess I need to head to Scotland. Who wants to come with??
