Wow. What a cool day. (These are in chronological order, not order of importance.)

First, my spouse and I went to a sparring seminar. It was very informative and a good workout to boot. The instructor brought up the issue of "Timing" which, as far as I'm concerned, has been left out of most sparring teaching of late. He also demonstrated some good drills which I look forward to practicing.

Second, we had an excellent "breakfast" for lunch at Perkins. The waiter was very nice, the food was more than timely and above delicious.

Third, I had the opportunity to see and chat with two of my closest friends. S & E, I know you didn't come in to see me, but it was still really nice to see you today. It was an extended bonus, as far as I was concerned.

Fourth, I started the move into my new office. Mind you, this was work, but I think the outcome will be very nice.

Fifth, I spent a modicum of time with a black-belt friend. She's fun to poke at, verbally as well as physically.

Sixth, my spouse and I have virtually finished putting together a truly awesome computer desk. It needs a few finishing touches, but it is now functional and looks really good, IMHO.

The heart in springtime,
Hope returns like a swallow.
My heart is at peace.
