I'll be in Reno/Tahoe this weekend with the rollerhockey group. Mountain biking on Saturday, unless price and availability of bikes becomes a problem. If we end up just chilling at the lake, I'll still be happy as long as it's hot and my tan lines get darker. I might try to actually play blackjack or poker at the casinos this time instead of just watching. I say that every time, but I never do it.

I still haven't gone clubbing or drinking with a group of friends on a single weekend this summer. We tried to get a group of people to go out for a couple weeks straight with no success. Then a bunch went clubbing last weekend. I wondered a little about why we weren't told about it until afterwards... until I heard that my ex had gone.

Sometimes I wonder why we still can't all hang out. It's been a year since D and I broke up. I've had no ill feelings about him for a really long time. So why do our friends, the Cornell group, still not invite both of us to the same events? Does that mean D's still uncomfortable or unwilling to hang out with me? Maybe our friends' not inviting us both to the same events is creating the illusion of a problem when there really isn't one.

So, I wonder whether I should start talking to D again so he knows, and our friends know, that I have no problems with hanging out him and them altogether. Maybe D would be unwilling to be friends with me. Then reaching out to him would be a waste of time, since I'd only be doing it so we could all hang out.

Actually, it's really no big deal the way things are right now with D and our friends. But I wouldn't be happy with this kind of thing to happening within both groups.
