Wow, I really appreciate all the feedback!

I currently live in TX, so weather is not an issue (it's been in the
60s lately). What's kinda prompted my question is my location. I live
pretty close to a smaller airport where I can work on my private (with
a large international airport about 10mi away, so it's a good place to
learn airport traffic), while the closest airport with gliders is a
over an hour away.

A few of you mentioned it, and I like the idea. I think I'll work on
both to eventually get the private with glider add-on. I will also be
moving to NC at the end of the year where there's an active glider
club. If I needed to finish the glider, I could finish there.

thanks for your help,
-Matt
