When I got home from the spirit training in the morning, Tasha and I did our normal monthly banking and then headed out for a Denny’s breakfast.  We came back home and took a two hour nap, and then I headed off to the gym with my team leader.  We saw that a lot of […]

Today was the close of this year’s Kangeiko at the Denver dojo, I attended once again at the ungodly hour of 6 am (got up again at 4:50 am!)  The dojo was packed, and the class started off with basics up and down the floor in two sections.  Even in two groups, folks were right […]

I woke up bright (well, actually dark) and early this morning at 4:50 am and headed to the Denver dojo for my first early-morning Kangeiko training.  The drive was much more pleasant at this hour, I made it in 20-25 minutes and found the dojo already packed around 5:40 am.  The small dojo was bursting […]

Tonight’s workout was a tough one, but contained less difficult combinations.  We started out the class in fudo-dachi, where we did jab/reverse punch combinations for awhile.  Then we moved on to cat stance, where we did front leg front kicks for awhile.  We then moved on to the three Tekki kata again, and rounded out […]

This week marks Sensei Yaguchi’s annual week of “kangeiko” or dead of winter training.  Apparently, this is like Homecoming for his dojo, as they pack in a boatload of people for 6 am – 7 am daily workouts.  Unfortunately, I live too far away to get there, train, and get back during rush hour but […]

Well, by some strange alignment of the stars that I don’t fully understand, Saturday’s blog post captured the attention of someone over at Comcast.  After an email with the required information, they escalated the issue and got my router back into the state it was on Friday night. I’ve been doing some further testing, and […]

This time I’m coming to you live from Buffalo Wild Wings, where they offer complementary wi-fi.  The internet is still down at our house, we’re going to get someone in (or at least a callback to Comcast) tomorrow. Not to be further delayed by our lack of internet connectivity, I went to the gym last […]

Last night Tasha and I got fed up with our spotty internet connection, so I called Comcast.  The guy I got was relatively helpful, however after I explained to him that my connection was spotty (I mentioned I had wireless) he transferred me to their home networking department. He thought that I had paid for […]

I did just over 7 miles on the stationary bike before my weight training tonight.  Getting a bit stronger already, we tried the seated rowing machine tonight too.  I didn’t work it too hard (at least, as far as I can tell) and we’re going to go back tomorrow for a bit more bike and […]
