For those who haven't heard, Harry passed away this month. We've posted a few memories about Sensei on our blog.
If we have any news to share with you about a service, we'll let you know. As always, our love and prayers to Miyuki, Sean, and to Harry's many, many friends.
The technique last month was katatetori udekimi-nage. As of today, Buck and Dee are caught up.
Still no sighting of Kevin, but researchers are optimistic.
Your humble editor WOULD have been caught up if his back hadn't seized on the fourth roll.
Curse you monthly misogi!!
In the adult class, please welcome Royce, Greg, and Rachel, and in the kids' class, please welcome Nick.
And to our newer students, please don't judge our dojo by this trainwreck of a newsletter. Sensei doesn't see most of what I write, and the less she knows, the better.
Capiche? 🤨
I've heard complaints from a few rabble-rousers that the monthly newsletter was too difficult to find on the website.
As they say in the software biz, this is a feature, not a bug. You ever stop to think that I WANTED to keep this stuff private? You didn't, did ya?
Nevertheless, as a gesture of my magnanimity, I've added a link in the sidebar under the Newsletter heading.
Go nuts.
We had such a great time. It was especially nice to see Grady and Karen Lane from Sand Drift Aikido. And I ran into Ashton at Publix! If you're reading this Ashton, YES you can return whenever you like. 😀
In the meantime, I've posted a few pics of our epic gathering. And to continue last month's puzzler, one photo contains an actual, honest-to-goodness secret message! Can you find it?
And some of them are true! Probably!
How well do YOU know your fellow students? Do you know their Secret and Hidden Lives?™ Would YOU be willing to serve as a character witness in a legal matter? (Seriously. I'm in a bit of a jam.)
Well, now's your chance to prove it! Here's the game. In column A are six of our brightest and most non-litigious students. In column B are six shameful and highly personal secrets, each belonging to a student in column A.
Can you match the students? Can you believe anything I say? Can you be at Courtroom B at 9:00 a.m. on Monday?
This has absolutely nothing to do with the previous article.
