There WAS a plan
Sometimes plans have a way of taking on a life of their own. We just gotta hang on. Also, coffee.
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 …
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 🙂
6 (Years). 5 (Major Events). – pt. 1
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 …
