I run, therefore I am…1081 kilometers farther than I was Dec 31 2007
I missed last Tuesday’s class in Devon, but managed to show up for today’s class in Elmwood. It was an informal class, and so we were able to be personally instructed by the Sensei. Marilyn and I practiced a lot of stuff, but the most important was that we practiced going down a [...]
