It was a good week. We got sales at work, held classes at the dojo, and kept up with the dishes and laundry.
Then tomorrow it's over to Two Pitchers Brewing to table for @autonomouspress.bsky.social.
If you're near Oakland, come by 2pm - 5pm. There will be several presses there.

Ofer Zur was a real Get it Done person.
He could take an idea and run with it, and learn a ton in the process. And in doing so, he generated energy and momentum for the next project.

I'm convinced after years of experimentation that tidying up our exercise habits, our thinking habits, and our communication habits are all tied to each other. When approached with focus and intention, these three areas can become powerful and effective.

We had a beautiful youth class today, with sticks and mitts. And I had a dream with all the elements of a Sensei nightmare (huge class, late, couldn't figure out the gi and hakama) though with a totally new sense. In a joyful and expansive manner, the class went on, with inclusivity and purpose.
