It is 5:32 AM on Saturday October 22nd, 2016. Today is a double dose of karate class for me. In the past I would watch the kid’s class then participate in the adults class but Senpai Taka-san asked me to join in the kid’s class and help out. Happy to help and this means that…… Continue reading 10.22.2016 – Mars, Fancy Cars and Other Things

Journal Entry – 10.20.2016
It is 5:16 AM. Today I have an all day travel industry event and must leave very early so my morning ‘me time’ is cut very short. These things can be a bit draining but also great opportunities to do a lot of networking. Needless to say I’m looking forward to tomorrow which is Friday.…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 10.20.2016
Journal Entry – 9.18.2016
It is 6:29 AM. I’ve had my wheatgrass juice, put the dishes away, made the coffee, updated the computer, uploaded photos and meditated. It is now time for a journal entry for which I should have time before everyone wakes up. The new refrigerator comes today which we’re pretty excited about. It will be nice…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.18.2016

Journal Entry 8.7.2016
This Sunday ends our first week at the new karate dojo. I’m a little sore in some spots but feeling very good on the overall. My jaw hurts as Senpai kicked it by accident when we were sparring. It was only my second time to spar and he is a blackbelt so of course he…… Continue reading Journal Entry 8.7.2016
8.5.2016 – First Karate Class
It is 4:42 AM and I’m forgoing the gym today in favor of writing, internet surfing and letting my body recover a bit. I had my first adult karate class yesterday and my right leg is a bit sore. I showed up to a locked door as it seems Thursdays can be extremely light and…… Continue reading 8.5.2016 – First Karate Class
My First Martial Arts Schools – Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Karate
It is 5:50 AM on a very early Thursday morning. I’ve just returned from the gym, have put the coffee on, turned on my television fish tank, and instead of birds chirping when for ‘New Age’ music to start the day. Yesterday was an exciting day for me and made me feel in a way…… Continue reading My First Martial Arts Schools – Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Karate
