Tekki whut?
Last night’s karate class was small. It was me and two other people (one of which was Sensei’s son). Reminded me of Sunday classes of the past. I kind of like small classes because when classes are small, Sensei get’s creative.

Yadda Yadda Kata
Well I went to karate last night. (yay me!) I was kind of a mess. This happens when you slack off. I’m a green belt (I think 4th kyu.. I know that’s silly that I’m not 100% sure.. ) which means I’ve learned and tested for all of the Heian Kata . A Kata is…

Q: Why so few karate posts?
Q: Why so few karate posts? A: I’m lazy Seriously, that is the reason. I have gone to karate a few times recently and have enjoyed myself but I have been very very lazy about going to class. This is nothing new. There seems to be an ongoing battle I have with myself. It goes…

Ups and Downs
These past few weeks have been nuts. All three (yes I said three) of my bosses were on the Company trip to Aruba… meh. Which means chaos for me. Oh well.. oh and Shel went off to San Francisco for conference which meant not only was she away for a few days but I was…

Olympic Feets
Well, I joined Ravelympics. If you are on Ravelry.com then I’m sure you’ve heard of it… if not, well, it’s Olympics for Knitters. There are events to compete in and you can’t start until the opening ceremonies. I’m doing the Cable Cross Country.. which is very ambitious since I’ve never done cables before. I’m already…

Just relax
Damn I have a hard time with that. Had class today. Sunday’s are always great because not many people show up which means I get a lot of instruction. Today was a little different. It was still intense, but Sensei didn’t spend a lot of time picking apart our technique. We warmed up, did a…
