        This word popped into my head just before I logged on. You all have it I know that and it’s a good thing. Anyone care to offer a definition?

        On a lighter note I have a lot of fun talking like southern “white trash” around the house….saw an ad for the Toyota Camry and asked my wife in my best accent how many pitchers a car with a Camry can take? Oh, God it’s silly season up here ’til Spring:P

          TRADITUDE? The positive attitude possessed by the Traditional

          Archer . The attitude that never rises nor falls below the trajectory of the arrow as it flies toward the mark . The attitude that remains in spite of a miss .

            I came across a quote the other day that touches on what I would consider ‘traditude:’

            “If you presume to love something, you must love the process of it much more than you love the finished product.”

            – John Irving

            For me, it’s the connection that I have to the entire process of traditional archery that is so satisfying, rather than just some end result.

              An ancient form of lunacy:? My wife knows I’m old and she knows I’m crazy about trad. So………

                Not being surprised when technology lets you down.

                  Rhymes with gratitude, for the unknown chap that bent a stick and added a string and first flung an arrow. Hoist your tea glass or whatever to such genius! 😀

                      I think that pretty much sums it up. Actually, that’s pretty much what my film is all about.

                      I’d offer some deep thoughts, but I’m half way through my 2nd G&T and I’m affraid I’d embarass myself.
