That's good advice

rissymonsterOverheard at the Downtown Oakland YMCA: "Y'know, the key to longevity... is not to die." Maybe it was just something about the delivery, but spontaneous chuckling broke out all around.
So I was sick again last week, belying my best intentions from my last post, but this week is pretty good, except for the minor panic attacks I've been having about my upcoming third kyu test. The sickness has not done wonders for my ability to train in the last month or so, and as the excellent 3rd kyu testers from this weekend's testing binge observed, there's a heck of a bunch of stuff on this here test. Having Bobsquatch around helps though; I can do stuff like panickedly ask him "What's going on with 16-17 again?," and after first wondering why I want to know about the early 17th century at 9:30pm on a Monday, he helps me get through those moves on the weapons (excuse me: wooden training sticks) kata.
Work is also pretty good, but I think that's the stuff of a flocked post. Suffice to say: affordable housing is getting built, and we are inches away from officially selling a shopping center we've been trying to sell since 1997 (I've only been involved since mid-2003, so I'm feeling good about taking some of the credit for helping move this along at what is relatively breakneck speed).
And, we get a visit from our dear friend Hell next weekend (for those of you who are local, this means you get to ask her embarrassing questions about our high school days)! Friday and Saturday are thus likely to be chock full of fun, and I think we might be able to talk her punky self into getting on the (aikido) mat for the beginner class on Sunday.
