Footie PJs and Football

It's my favorite time of the year!  Last night Mia snuggled on the couch with us in her footie pajamas while we watched football as OU beat Cincinnati.  I love all things autumn.  I'm ready for pumpkins, falling leaves, and home-cooked chili.  Now that the weather is cooling off, we're trying to spend more time outside.  However, it's been raining off and on for the last several days, so we haven't been able to get out much.

Mia made us laugh at the grocery store today.  She's always worn out by the time we make it to the checkout line.  Sometimes she can be kind of fussy.  I showed her a Mickey Mouse pez dispenser to try and distract her.  Her eyes lit up!  She ran around the cart, stood on her tiptoes, and slid Mickey onto the conveyor belt.  Then, she clapped her hands, and yelled, "Yay!!"  We bought it for her, but she doesn't get to eat the candy.  No hard candy yet.  I'm always scared she's gonna choke on something.  She loves her Mickey, though.

Thank you. That is one of the nicest compliments that I have ever received on this Blog. Doubly so, because it comes from another sniper. It is hard to set aside the time to try and write something meaningful. There are so many other "priorities' that writing a blog entry can slip down the list. Live goes on for awhile, and then I will read bit of advice on the Net written by some player who, may actually be a real experienced run-and-gun paintball player, but who just as clearly doesn't know spit about playing a sniper position. This so-called expert is only too happy to tell anyone who will listen all about how the "only" way to play sniper, including some bogus suggestion on what gear that player should be carrying. Often, there is a price tag tucked deeply into the advice for some type of specialized gear or a book. The "guidance" in the article is usually so bad that makes me angry and a bit frustrated. So frustrated in fact, that I can't get the idea out of my head that someone just getting started as sniper will follow that advice and waste a lot of time and money. Worse yet, that same player might just eventually give up the idea of playing sniper because what they are doing just doesn't seem to be working even though they followed the Internet advice right to the letter. That's when I sit down to write. Now that I am retired, I have much more time and I hope to be a lot more active than ever. Friv kogama
