#30. give a dating site another go

Registered for eharmony again. Maybe I will get to meet someone this time.

#86. watch an RIT hockey game

I got to see the Tigers take on UConn at UConn a few weeks ago. There was also an alumni event before the game and I got to meet coach Wilson for the first time. It was a good time, there were a decent amount of RIT people there too.

#36 put together a large puzzle

I'm working on a good sized puzzle now. I just got to the boring, harder part (all sky and water) so it will probably slow down. But I'll get there!

#1 join a music group

Last week I started singing with the Plymouth UCC in Framingham's choir. It is about a half mile or less from my apartment.

My top two and biggest things are now complete.
