I got 15 Sochin in tonight, bringing me a scarce one percentage point away from hitting my goal. It’s so close now that I can taste it! Class tonight was interesting… the first class was basics, focusing on placement of the center of gravity and changing stances. This was increasingly important during the second class, […]

I went to the grocery store in search of items for my holiday cooking endeavors. I picked up the essentials for my pumpkin pies, and I decided that I wanted to try a recipe for Beef and Broccoli that I’ve been hankering for lately.

Today , , my wife and I went to the double bass recital of our good buddy . It was incredible! It is very interesting to see one of our karate people doing non-karate things, especially artistic accomplishments like this. The guy performing on the marimba was very talented also, I really enjoyed their duet […]

Today and I did 50 Sochin. Well, technically, he did 60 because I did Bassai Dai and Tekki Nidan interwoven between my first two or three Sochin so he was able to get out in front of me a little. I wanted to help my Dad and another brown belt with their kata at the […]

Even though it has not been hindering my training at all, I’m fairly certain that I did more damage than previously assumed during the incident that occurred involving my left foot and Mr. Erbe’s right knee. At the time, as indicated in the associated post, I assumed my foot would be bruised for only a […]

My parents offered to take my wife and I out to Margarita’s restaurant, where they specialize in crafting small countries out of pork tenderloin. I was starving and I was only able to finish three-quarters of it and I didn’t even touch my fries. It is good meat too… they aren’t greasy or gristly and […]

Because I was home alone for part of today, I decided to upgrade my box to MythTV 0.20. I am happy to report that the upgrade went very smoothly, and I’m enjoying the new features! I attempted to archive some videos using the new MythArchive plugin, however I told it to use the wrong DVD […]
