Monday Musings: Week 2 Results & Week 3 Goals
Wow! Got sucked into the kitchen this weekend. Which is good cuz we have easy meals for the week but bad cuz I didn’t meet my other goals. But it won’t do me any good to beat myself up over that. Right? Right! So I’m gonna celebrate the successes and plan to overcome the rest. [...]

Monday Musings: New Year edition
Had intended to have a lovely post all ready but I have a cold so that didn’t happen. Me be it is a good thing cuz that mega post was likely to put you to asleep. LOL! Yeah, I’ve got lots of ideas for the year but rather than outlining them all at once I’m [...]

Monday Musings
Karate: learned (in the process of teaching) a new take on a very dull bo kata. Bo ichi. Its a preparatory kata. Not even considered “real” and so usually not enjoyed. But one of our sensei showed me (and the kids I was teaching) the trick of immediately “chambering” after each move. What you end [...]

Monday Musings: Karate
Some rather disjointed thoughts here. After last week’s post on this, I thought I had such a clear idea of the “next step”. But now, late Sunday night, I wonder about that thought. And where it went. LOL! Teaching: After Sensei’s comment (Sensei reads my blog, woot!), I thought maybe I had a better track. [...]

Monday Musings: Karate
Another alliterated title! Woot! O.o My make-ahead sessions are pretty run-o-the-mill now. Nothing new. Except maybe pressure canning chicken broth. Yeah, exciting eh? So I’ve been thinking this would be a good replacement or at least something to write about until something exciting happens in the make-ahead department. And it will help me tackle some [...]

Saturday Sol
This was my view today while doing yoga (this Ekhart Yoga video) on the deck. I love the look of walnut leaves. The leaflets seem to create gentle echoes as they get smaller. I keep thinking there is a “tangle” design in there… somewhere. Haven’t done anything all week between sickness, sleeplessness and laziness. But [...]
Dojo Monday
Trying to come up with more themed posts like Work-table Wednesday. So… since karate class is on Monday evenings…. Boyo has joined the adult class now which I think is über cool. The “cost” of this additional training is to help in the lower classes. Another über cool thing. But that’s not really what I [...]

C5k W1D2: the good, the bad and yoga
Two workouts in one week! Went to the gym yesterday. Steve had a lot to say about it today. Lots of advil needed to keep me upright. Second session of a.m. yoga with the kids today. Boggles that running does not hurt but yoga (and just about everything else) does. ?????? Even tried some karate [...]

Karate Class Notes
Tonight was one of those classes where I didn’t really feel like going. I’m blaming the weather but… whatever. In the end I was very glad I went. I hope all this makes sense in the morning. I kinda feel like I was in that moment where I’ve just woken up from a dream and [...]

First Karate Tournament
Well, I survived and managed to have fun. The waiting was hard. We got there at 8:30 and didn’t compete until after noon. Gah! But such is the way with these things. Sam and I were competing at the same time of course so there are few pictures of either of us. There were 4 [...]
