It was a busy weekend and a lot happened. Here’s the rundown.
Friday night Kelli and I had promotions down at the To Shin Do dojo. I’m now a blue/white belt and Kelli is a yellow belt (photographic proof). I’m going to start coaching level one now that I’m blue/white which starts tonight. …
I hate it.
Did you see the memo?
It’s just one thing after another after another.
The tales of government greed and stupidity weigh heavily on me.

Had an extremely fun, extremely painful weekend training with the very nice folks over at the California Warrior Quest Society under John Poliquin. We covered a lot of things that are waaaay beyond my current abilities, but it was a lot of fun regardless. I enjoyed seeing how other people in the art …
I really want a smart phone.
