[Ghoulish Delight]

...a good hobby. I've joined a pool (billiards) league that meets after work on Wednesdays. It's competative, but not in an cut-throat way (it helps that I got placed on the second best team in the league). I'm a novice yet I'm still able to win some games here and there, and I've been improving. It's just nice to do something enjoyable and social.

Conversely, there's nothing so bad as realizing too late that Yom Kippur (Jewish day of attonement in which we fast for a full day starting at sundown) is beginning. And by "too late" I mean after I've had a couple alcoholic beverages. Fortunately, there's a school-age kid in the pool league who said, "I don't have to hurry to finish playing tonight because I don't have school tomorrow, it's Yom Kippur." So I didn't go ordering more drinks. But neither have I had any water. And I'm working today (I didn't want to take the day off since I'm going to be taking a week off shortly). Fun fun.
