- Made a New Year’s resolution. Because I refuse to let other people tie me down to anything*, so why should I do it to myself? Something you may want to change about yourself might occur at any time during the year anyway, so why set some arbitrary date for its commencement?
- Fired a blackpowder muzzle-loading musket or rifle.
Some of my Readers (and you know who you are) have tried to assure me that this brass cartridge case thing is just a passing fad; I may be conservative, but that doesn’t mean I can’t keep up with the times, when appropriate. (I have fired several such handguns, e.g. a Colt Dragoon and Navy Colt, and it was a huge PITA, whether it was in the preparation, the actual shooting, or the clean-up afterwards.) - Bought anything at a Hallmark Crown store, or any place that sells only candles. I have no idea how these establishments ever came to be, and their continued existence remains a mystery to me. Then again, I’m a man and we don’t go to places like this. Maybe when they start carrying ammo…
Fell free to add your “never done that” things, in Comments.
