Ok; I will confess...
Each year I buy myself a Christmas present. It has nothing to do with sensibility. In fact it is something that I want that I know no one will give me.
I guess that I am regressing to my youth. One year it might be a pocket knife. This year it was a pellet gun. I bought it for shooting targets as I did when my father was stationed in Alaska. We would go to the rifle range and shoot for competition with 22 rifles, laying prone and checking our targets with a scope. I went to a military boarding school in high school and we did the same there. A pellet gun seems so much less a firearm and more easy to explain than a "rifle". Same careful handling applies however. It can be a backyard plinker if not too noisy.
So; I am sorry that this bit has not much to do with ALS....except that I am reviewing past memories more often now. One excuse I came up with is that it will help me keep my hand eye coordination going with something that is not really athletic.
Do any other PALS have a secret to share?
