The Trough
So as things get closer to the date of my departure they also get busier.
So Wednesday I went by McKinley Park to check out how the folks from the dojo are doing now. I must say, the park is not a bad place to train by any means. The weather is nice and the terrain isn't too soft or too hard. I do find it funny though just watching the people who run by taking glances in our direction. They might have a look of interest, wondering perhaps just how applicable our teaching is, or maybe they know some martial arts themselves and are trying to see what we're about. The muscled-out guys have the look of, "Lol they move so slow, I could pound them to a pulp with my MMA" kind of look. Either way though I got to see some familiar faces; apparently Nick is going to be moving south near L.A. within the next couple weeks, so hopefully I'll get to see him again before he takes off. Once it got late though I had to take off because the annoying blood-suckers came out from nowhere, but I think I'll drop in the next couple of sessions.
Yesterday I hung out with Ben, Sam, and Joe (and later Anthony & Company)to geek-out on some D&D stuff. Joe's campaign is hard though; we're all terribly average people, and throughout the game Joe has consistently gotten good rolls while we've consistently gotten bad rolls. This makes for a difficult game. Difficult, but still fun at least. I also got to eat some food from a restaurant called Tres Hermanas, man their food kicks ass. I now have a greater love for tamales.
So today I'm going to be hanging out with my cousin Ryan for a good part of the day, and later in the evening I'm gonna drop in to hang out with my cousin (Ryan's brother) Keith. I haven't seen him in a good while, so it should be a pretty fun night.
And then there's just a bit more to do, so I'm gonna hop to it.
