I did the impossible, I joined Facebook

Oh yes, it's very true. I've been Facebooked! I've got 11 friends so far - who are people I can actually call friends (with a touch of family). Now I can make contact with people without the usual hassle of being EXTREMELY lazy with e-mail. It's not SO much better, but it is by just a touch.

A LACK OF KI
I started practicing Aikido again last month, and I couldn't be happier. I go for two or three times a week, practicing two hours a day. One hour is devoted to Ki Training, which is pretty sweet. We learn how to move people by using the least amount of our own energy as possible.

After that is an hour of Aikido, in which somethings I already know, and much I don't. Everyone there is pretty cool. In an Aikido class, the atmosphere is pretty relaxed and jovial. The teachers are especially funny.

Once a week, I also take a Ken and Jo class, that is a sword and stave fighting class. We've been mostly working with the stave so far and it's pretty complicated, but extremely fun.

I've missed this week's Aikido classes because of working over time and helping out the wife. My body misses it terribly. I need to stop being a lazy baby, and start practicing on my own regularly.

THE BATTLE'S NEARLY OVER...
Well, Meg's been officially fired. HOORAY!!! Now all we have to do is wait for them to give her back her pension book and other items. I need her government pension book in order to sign up with the insurance at work, which will be very necessary for when the baby comes. Just waiting...

Until laterz...
