Quick Update
So, since I last wrote something here I’ve been as busy as ever. The weekend after I visited one Ksusha in New York, I visited the other Ksusha in the OC. She and Ryan are expecting their baby any time now. The idea was to go down and catch up with them before they get busy with baby stuff. Photos here.
One of the things we did while I was down there was attend the 10th anniversary of a Krav Maga center in LA that Ryan has friends at. I ended up with two new hobbies. Firstly, I was impressed by Krav Maga itself (a martial art originally developed for the Israeli Defense Force) and I’ve since joined up here in SF. It’s exercise that has the additional positive benefit (besides fitness) of being useful for self defense. Also, kneeing people in the groin beats lifting weights any day. Secondly, the Krav event also had a charity auction and I picked up a an electric guitar (an G&L ASAT Special for aficionados) for only $200. Brian already had an amp and the other required gear here, so I’ve been doing my best to learn to play it. Patience, time, and effort and I’ll get there.
On the work side, my current project is coming to an end. I managed to spend <24hrs in the Seattle area, but I didn’t learn much except that it’s really nice and green up there. I’ll have to go back soon.
