Too Many Things, Something's Gotta Give

[the_gneech]

I have decided to take a break from Kung Fu for the month of May. My attendance has been spotty lately as it is, as I've been either crunching on a project, or sick, and I need to rebuild the SJ buffer before my California trip at the end of the month. Of all the things I do, Kung Fu is the one that most interferes with the others (well, actually, having a job is, but I can't take a month break from that without dire, dire consequences).

I'm a little bummed about it, because I feel like I've failed at something, but it is just for a month after all, so I'll survive. I took a similar break in 2003 and it wasn't a problem, so I should be fine. When I go back in June, there'll be a $35 "reinstatement" fee, but that's better than paying $89 for my regular May tuition and then not actually going.

I am gonna keep practicing, too, probably on irregular weekday afternoons and Sunday mornings, to keep myself from getting too rusty. I won't be making forward progress, but I won't be backsliding either.

And now, I've got buffer to go build. Catcha later.

Setting priorities is tough but it's something we all have to do. Good luck with the buffer building and with keeping an edge on the Kung Fu by yourself during the month.

Let me ask the important question...

Where in California will you be? *grin*

lythandra and I will be in San Jose/San Mateo visiting mammallamadevil a couple of days in the last week of May/first week of June, bookending a two-day trip up to Portland, OR. :)

Ooooh! Would you, lythandra, and mammallamadevil be available for dinner during that time?

I suspect so. :) At least one of those nights, we're going to go out to Moss Beach Distillery (http://www.mossbeachdistillery.com) ... assuming the gals don't mind, it'd be very cool with me if you and Misseli would like to join us.
