update of several things

First and foremost, I did do some work on my book - I fleshed out the story paragraph into a paragraph per sentence. Interesting thing is how it's changing the original idea in subtle ways, as well as how I'm introducing characters who I have to go back and flesh out as well. For anyone even thinking of writing something big but can't get started, this article is working really well for me.

Secondly, I am going back to my jujitsu class.  When I worked in Princeton for 4 years, I found an excellent mentor, friend, and sensei in Fabian Sensei.  He teaches a style called Hontai Yoshin Ryu - sword, staff, and jujistu and I loved it.  Problem is, I got a job in White Plains, and Princeton is in the total opposite direction.  I've been kicking the idea around for a while of going back, and when 2 of the guys I trained with emailed me out of the blue, it made more sense, so I'm going back for my first class in almost three years, tomorrow.  It's going to be around 30 degrees, and the class is outside.  Yeah, that's going to be WAY fun.  I'll be sure to update you ;)
