Morning!
As amazing as it might sound, I was actually smart yesterday and chose to bow out of both BJJ (wah!) and adult sparring (major wahs - I could have gone against several of my favorite black belts several times, wah wah wah!). But, even I know when taking it easy is the wise […]

Morning!
The good news is that after approximately 15 hours of sleep yesterday, my right bicep is feeling much better. I will bow out of BJJ today however, no sense in tempting the gods! Adult self defense….well, I’ll show up of course but don’t know if I’ll participate yet.
It was truly […]

Morning!
I had to bow out of BJJ yesterday (wah!) because even I can notice when my physical ability is, well, pretty darned low. I’m feeling much better today, but yesterday morning, my right leg and right bicep were giving me major problems.

Can’t resist
posting about this - I got the BJJ (brazilian Jiu Jitsu) gi/kimono in the mail yesterday, and wow, it looks great!
Wearing it took me back to college (when I had a year of regular Jiu Jitsu before losing my nerve). Alas, my right bicep is still acting up, so the probability of […]

Morning!
5 more weeks until school ends! Wheee! And it’s been almost 2 years to the date that I released the Rich Hermit series. Amazing how technology/SEO/etc. has changed since then.
