There's a trip to Peru being planned for early November. People from the kung fu school are getting together to visit our repatriated Sifu for some intensive training. I'd love to go, but money is a big issue. I've more or less resigned myself to paying a grand to get down there. He wants more than 200 bucks to let us stay in his home, though. If I can't talk him down from that number, I'll probably find the most touristy hovel/tel I can find and save a little money. I understand that he wants part of the money as a fee for the training, but it's still a little steep for our working relationship.
Anyway, that might be happening.
So, I gave the sword back to Sparrow. She was ecstatic. I told her my thoughts about the sword's ownership, and she said, "Oh, no! If I do anything with it, I might give it to the museum." (Of course, this is a paraphrase.) I support any idea that puts this artifact into hands that can maintain it.
The apartment is feeling more and more like home. It the past week, I've assembled a TV table and a futon frame. Yesterday, I picked up two more bookcases for our library. What I really need to do is go through a basket of clothes to see what I need and don't need. Also, I have some papers to grade.
my whangee and my yellowest shoes!
