It’s a flood of blogging! Can I call that a flogging? I mean, not three years ago did anyone have a web log, and suddenly everyone’s got at least 4! (Well, I have 4, don’t you?) As my favorite news aggregator put it (when speaking about the blogging trend): “Early adopters were eventually joined by late adopters in an event that has been dubbed as ‘popularity.’” But I don’t update those others anymore - in fact, they only have one entry saying that there won’t be any more. So, on with the writing. (and off with the self-aware commenting - blogging about blogging, or some such nonsense, is truly that - mundane and easy. You don’t wanna see what a self-aware blog can do.)
My new iai training gear came yesterday! I now have my own (a) hakama, (b) keikougi, and (c) obi! I’m now completely using my own equipment (after about 10 months of iai). But, it’s an expensive dedication. The practice sword was US$250, and my recent tests were US$200, and this last order was US$140. Plus monthly dues at the dojo puts me at US$300. Just shy of a grand! I’d never thot that I’d be spending so ‘frivolously’ a year ago. Simplify, simplify, simplify. HHH
