2016..It looks like I blog once a year-->

Wow... It looks like I blog1 time per year. So here is my yearly blog post for 2016!!! Last time I wrote on this I was looking forward to Star Wars Episode VII - I did see Episode VII a few times in the theaters and it was pretty darn good. I liked it all 3 times I saw it for sure, what I didn't factor in to my hype train was the fact that this is part of a 3 part trilogy of movies. They really crushed the new characters they introduced (sans Phasma), and in so doing they introduced a ton of mysteries and questions regarding said characters. I won't know how good Episode VII truly is until I get to see the end game which won't be until the end of 2019, when Episode IX comes out and wraps this trilogy. The silver lining is that instead of having 1 movie every 3 years... we get 1 a year.  In 10 months from now Rouge 1 will come out and we will get to hopefully see Darth Vader in his prime wrecking rebel scum all over the silver screen. They are currently filming Episode VIII which is awesome!!! Okay enough about Star Wars....

Last year I was really geeked out about MTN Biking and as I look back I realize that I didn't really go all out for MTN Biking.. I think my plan was to go 2-3 times per week and I ended up maybe going once every 2 weeks. So what happened? What took away my attention from MTN Biking? I have a really awesome mountain bike.. What I lacked was a biking buddy who could go often enough to keep me invested in the trails. Plus, I can't mountain bike with my wife and kids yet so I needed something more family friendly with my kids being 9, 7, and 4. That is where Disc Golf came in to play. It turns out I can take my whole family to the old disc golf course and we can all get out and play together. My oldest is way into the sport and has already been begging me to take him as soon as it gets warm enough. This year I am hoping to find a better balance between to 2 sports. Not to mention I hope to be in better health this year than I was last.

I would like to blog more this year.. Let's see how it goes. I do have more to say and reflect on from last year, so maybe I will continue this later on when I have some more time.
