= Such Stupid Things =

So... I turned 26 yesterday, and Marie once again confirmed her Best-Girlfriend-Ever status with a suprise trip to Birds Landing Sporting Clays. Paul, Jon, Marie and myself spent the better part of Sunday morning shooting clay pidgeons with 12-guage shotguns. It was a whole lot of fun, and a great first-shooting experience for yours truly. I'll put up some pictures soon. The only drawback to the day was learning that Paul is a surprisingly good shot, and is not at all hesitant to mouth off about it. He bested us all, hitting 31 of 60 targets in our little mini-golf style competition. Jon, Marie and I were all roughly equal (within error), hitting 18, 19 and 20, respectively.

And as you can probably imagine, several jokes were made at the expense of our Vice President. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it turns out to be surprisingly easy to not shoot your friends in the face.
