later dater

My Aikido dojo did a demo this weekend for another dojo's anniversary, and Suganuma Shihan was there again(9th dan, Fukuoka). We got to watch him demonstrate, which moved me to want to change some things in my Aikido practice.

Also this weekend I attended an 'iris-viewing festival' down by the ancient stone bridges and canals of Tamana, a neighboring city.

This month I team-teach all 9th grade classes in my current middle school, Arao #1.

It's now getting late, so this is just an update. it's not great, but enough to contemplate, hopefully not enough to complicate, and simply put, more to come at a later date
