I can help you with the ASL… I mean I’m not fluent by any stretch of the imagination, but I can get you started.
I can also help w/ those New England states you need to check off your list. Come to MA and I can take you to VT, NH, ME and heck even RI all in the same day! lol Or make a long w/e trip out of it, whatevs.
Ice skating! You will have to come to Chicago for an all star lesson–although some of the best are already out in Cali! I’m no skating sensation, but I skated for about 8 years competitively in my youth and used to train with Evan Lysacek, Mr. Gold Medal. Heh. I love teaching people how to skate. Especially adults! You have to go sometime! Just take baby steps on the ice and keep your arms out. You’ll find your balance in no time!
You haven’t been to Connecticut yet! I live here, come visit!
I want to comment on so many things!
One, I can’t believe how many states you’ve been to!
Two, do a 365 project. I started mine in February, thought it would be way more work than it really is. It isn’t as hard as I thought it would be!
Three, I also want to go grape stomping!
So, I totally want to buy you a beer.
