It is 6:08 AM on Sunday morning, March 5th, 2017. Today is the day of our very first Fighter’s Cup. It seems to be more on my mind than my son’s who is happily playing on his iPad on the couch seemingly without a care in the world. He is lucky because he is in…… Continue reading Fighter’s Cup

Journal Entry – 3.3.2017
It is 2:32 AM on Friday, March 3rd, 2017. I woke up around 1 AM most likely due to all the physical activity as well as the wings I ate for dinner yesterday. I had been thinking for a while about cleaning out the shed and turning it into an office/greenhouse/clubhouse. Well, I got it…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 3.3.2017
Journal Entry – Check in at 39
It is 6:29 AM, late in the morning by my usual schedule but I felt that I’ve really needed to sleep more than usual lately. It is Friday morning on February 24th and I’m feeling more relaxed than usual. Yesterday one of my biggest corporate customers re-signed and that goes a long way in taking…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Check in at 39
Journal Entry – Karate and Wrestling
It is 5:51 AM and I’m up later than usual. Yesterday I had two karate sessions making four for the past two days and I’m battered and bruised. Surprisingly, it isn’t as bad as I had thought. When I first began I was afraid of getting punched, kicked and fighting in class. That fear has…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Karate and Wrestling
Journal Entry – 1.25.2017
It is 5:31 AM and very dark outside. I’ve put the dishes away, made tea, meditated and now have just under an hour to write a post. My body is sore from the gym and karate. In the past I’ve always given short shrift to leg day but have started to pay more attention since…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.25.2017
Journal Entry – 1.16.2016
It is 5:53 AM. I woke up much earlier but was pretty exhausted from the day before so went back to sleep and finally got out of bed at five. Whenever I sleep longer than I should my dreams become progressively more strange. I wonder if there is a scientific reason for that? Yesterday I…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.16.2016
Journal Entry – 11.20.2016
It is 5:29 AM. My body is tired and sore from the double karate session yesterday but I like the feeling as it reminds me that I got a good workout in. Today the dojo is meeting at the historic Roxie Theater to watch a movie – Take a Chance – made by the Grand…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.20.2016
Journal Entry – 10.28.2016
It is 5:31 AM on Friday, October 28th, 2016. I woke up at 3:00 AM, went to the gym, put the dishes away, had a shot of wheatgrass, meditated and did my Japanese class flashcards. So far it has been a very productive Friday. It is also raining which I love since we rarely get…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 10.28.2016
