There WAS a plan

Sometimes plans have a way of taking on a life of their own. We just gotta hang on. Also, coffee.

So Much New

On February 12, 2022 By CorwinIn Because I Want To2 Comments

So much so, actually. Interesting thing, I was going to say "funny" but I don't think that's the word. As introductions go, this one is not so great. I would know, I have a degree in making sure I know when introductions are bad. Doesn't really stop me, though. The thing that's not quite funny? …

Did I think I would pull meta concepts out of my early teen fantasy binging? No. Did I? Oh, yes.

And All of a Sudden…

It's July. Last year at this time we were limited to 8 people in the dojo, masks were everywhere and the tension was thick enough to cut with a knife. Last year I had just moved to Milwaukee and spent a fair amount of time bringing stuff to Ohio. Last year at about this time …

It's the end of the countdown, and it's a doozy.

3 (New Scars).

I've done a lot of stupid stuff over the years and collected some interesting scars because of it. Here's just a few of them 🙂

4 (Quicksilver Moments).

On October 16, 2020December 8, 2021 By CorwinIn Blog, RuminationsLeave a comment

A theme throughout this blog has been one of quicksilver moments. The little slivers of time that seem to hang in the air for far too long and for a split second, everything seems, not perfect, not priceless, but pure. You are fully invested in this moment, every smell, feeling, taste, and sight of it, …

6 (Years). 5 (Major Events). – pt. 1

On August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 By CorwinIn Adventure, Blog1 Comment

This is one of those posts that I'm not sure I should even write. There's been a lot of those as of late. In fact, if you were to dive into the drafts of KataNerd you would find 30 ideas just sitting in digital limbo. Some of them just a title and then meaningless splashes …

Tornadoes and Kraken

On July 18, 2020July 18, 2020 By CorwinIn Because I Want To, Blog, Ruminations1 Comment

It's been a weird few months. Not to say it's been bad, quite the contrary, it's been great! I've learned so very much and had the support of wonderful people. But, it's also been a crazy type of stressful. And now, sitting in the debris from the whirlwind owlishly looking around, it leaves me in …
