As a side note, over the last couple of years, I’ve pushed myself to try at least one new thing every year, and as a result, I’ve collected contact information and such about things that I have set as personal challenges. Generally, they’ve been related to fitness and new ways to exercise without having to be at a gym in the same old routine, but some are more performance and costuming/sewing/crafting related.  Keep your eyes peeled, as I’ve queued several posts for these, most of which are located in Knoxville, Tennessee.  I hope to see several of you at these places, trying something new!
