feeling social

as i mentioned in the previous post, lately i'd been feeling disconnected. i don't know what really changed but my mental space feels much better, and in a burst of serendipity i was invited out of the blue to join a volleyball league with some friends. it was exactly the kind of activity i was looking to join. our first game was yesterday (saturday) and we swept 3/0 in three sets to 25, so hoping for a good season!

while most of the things i enjoy doing are either solo or with a single partner, (climbing, skiing, mountain biking), i had been craving the feeling of being in a group of people where i just relax and have to be 50% of the conversation if that makes sense. i've also been going to coffee shops to work more frequently lately, and the people watching is pleasant and relaxing as well.

another thing i would like is to find a group of casual, home coffee-roasters who would like to exchange and get/give feedback. i am completely self taught and while i love the learning and experimentation process, it's pretty hard to be a good self-critic! i'm a member of a few coffee-related discord servers, but if there are any geminaut roasters who are interested, send me an email at chris@avertentropy.wtf!
