With Sensei Brewer and away, it was Sensei Quinn on deck to teach. The first class was a solid basics workout where we pretty much stayed in place all night long, doing stationary techniques. It was mostly lunge punches and front kicks, and as we stayed there stationary I felt like my hip action was […]

Me, Simpsonized! Originally uploaded by dalcher. Apparently, my headshot translates to my 1996 Macaulay Culkin haircut in the Simpsons Universe. Even still, I’m looking pretty suave in Springfield! Give it a try for yourself at Simpsonize Me.

A few of you have been shocked lately to find me ordering water at lunch. The rumors are true… I’m cutting back (and hopefully out) on my Diet Coke consumption. The reasons are numerous, at the forefront are increasing reports that aspartame is bad for you. The fact that I was drinking $20 worth of […]

Because of my increasingly insane work schedule, I had to miss our first outdoor Saturday of the summer. I resolved that I wasn’t going to miss this one, so and I made the trek to Mapleton to dutifully march up and down the field. We arrived late, the rest of the group was already done […]

We were warned. Thursday night promised us that we’d be outside, and that’s exactly what happened. We went out into the side lot of the YWCA and did a grand total of 200 punches and 200 front kicks up and down the yard. It was good training, I found myself focusing on my back heel […]

Saturday brought a fun day of cleaning up after the dog. It appears that he has some sort of infection that is causing him to want to pee *everywhere*. Interestingly, he’s in pretty good spirits, but we have to be very receptive when he’s making the motion like he wants to go outside. Most of […]

2007 Workout #47: Because <lj user=”shotobushi”> guilted me into it…
Posted by dante8 Published in PostTuesday night’s workout was one of Sensei’s patented hard workouts that don’t seem hard until you’re sore the next day. It started out with reverse punch practice during the first class, emphasizing rotation of the hips. It quickly evolved into partner training, which extended into the second class. I was feeling pretty strong on my […]

This works well. These pens are amazing, and being able to get a utilitarian model on the cheap is excellent. Staples has everything you need (they only had a few of the pen refills in stock in Pekin) and it only took around 5 minutes to do four pens. Woot!
