This past Sunday our martial arts class held its first Chinese New Year celebration since Master Lee passed away, almost six months ago. A lot of people showed up – family, friends, and old students who we had not seen in a long time. The event was beautiful and bitter-sweet.
The gradual closing of our old downtown location, and the necessary change in schedule as we settle in to our new workout space at From the Heart Yoga, means my own personal schedule is changing for the first time in about 35 years (COVID notwithstanding). I now have Tuesday and Thursday evenings free, which has not been the case since the mid-1990s.
What will I do with my new schedule? Attend some poetry readings. Read. Write. Get back in shape.
Get some sleep.
Being done with February will help. This has been the Februariest February that ever Februaried. I’m glad it’s over.
Reading
I read a few more pages of Foucault’s Pendulum. A mere fraction of my usual reading pace. I had forgotten just how funny this novel is!
Writing
Ha! As if!

Sun Ra, “Nuclear War.” Seems appropriate, considering. [NOTE: I picked this song before Israel and the USA launched their illegal attacks on Iran. There must have been something in the air.]

- “US, ISRAEL ATTACK IRAN, START REGIONAL WAR; IRAN RETALIATES AGAINST ISRAEL, US BASES IN BAHRAIN, SAUDI ARABIA, QATAR” (Naked Capitalism) – Noted pedophile (who is celebrated as such by his supporters) Donald Trump has, along with genocidal fascist Benjamin Netanyahu, launched an attack against Iran, ostensibly due to a lack of resolution in their nuclear program talks. But really, it is to distract from Trump being the Main Character in the Epstein files.
