Happy Easter

I know it is a few days late..but Happy Easter...or as I prefer to call it Resurrection Sunday.  We had a great crowd at Grace Church in Bainbridge, Ga. www.gracechurchga.org  Saturday I cook ahead of time..made a turkey, greens, dressing and mac n cheese.  My parents have been under the weather so they could not make it this year.

Spent some time training. Have been working on Jion kata. Like the Heian katas...there is so much to learn. You can't learn a kata in a week...a year or longer..maybe. I still find myself finding new light bulb moments in the most basic kata. I would suspect that is how it is supposed to be. Kata may be set in writing...but their applications are organic and can change to the situation which is why you never give up training every kata. It never gets old.....

So..I converted my blog over to Google+...been on blogger and noone seems to be going to blogger anymore...not much at least. Lets see how this goes.

Other than that yesterday was my birthday and I went and got a massage, my taxes done and sushi with friends. Great day overall.

Throw back Thursday for ya.

Food for thought

I have seriously thought about starting a blog about food. I mean...if you follow me on instagram or facebook I will make you hungry.  I thought about a potato chip blog, since they are like crack to me. But I figured I would stick to good food for the time being. Here are some pics. Let me know what you think.

And we have not even scratched the surface of my food madness... :)

karate...del ray beach...

Went to the summer SAKA camp in Del Ray Beach FL....wow is all I can say. I love Del Ray. We stayed at the Hyatt and eveything you could want was in walking distance.
Hats off to Jeffery Lynne and Tom Leeman and others for putting together a wonderful expierience.
Master Koyama did and excellent job teaching his view of karate. He is 80 years young...I hope I look that good at 80. All in all it was one of the best camp experiences I have ever had.

Banjo....

I got a banjo....and it is a lot of fun. You should try it sometime cause it is hard to not smile and play a banjo. :)

Monday is here. Happy mothers day.

Happy Monday and Happy Mothers day yesterday to all. We are almost to the end of school...and the summer is starting to fill up...wow. Hope to get in some fun time....get some fishing in with the buds and son.
Got to help my son train hard for karate and pass his black belt test in the fall....pray it works out. He is also involved in tutoring this summer...hope that helps him for the fall and school.
Kids are already heavy into swimming and things look good so far...meet in a couple weeks...
Had a good mothers day with my wife and my parents came over for dinner...got leftovers...which is a good thing. Anyhows....hope yall have a great week....

kendo

I have a bag full of kendo gear sitting in my office. Why? Because I am interested in learning. Learning what? As you may know I am a karate practitioner. Okinawan karate was based partially defending one's self against the guy with the sword and armor. So why not learn some of how that works and be able to understand the other side of it? Plus it is fun. I am excited about beginning this learning experience. More later.
