Sorry for the slow posting this week — I haven’t even given you all the Paris rundown yet, or given you rant about one of Bush’s recent appointments that I’ve been thinking about. I’ve been busy catching up from a week off at work and not sleeping enough, so I’m very much looking forward to the weekend.
One fun thing that happened this week is that I started taking a self-defense class for the first time in ages — I’m re-taking the Advanced class, which I took a few years ago. As you may recall, I had been teaching the Basics class, but between the new job and Gothamist, I took a hiatus from teaching. Getting back into a class has made me realize how much I enjoyed teaching — perhaps I’ll get back into that if life ever slows down a bit. The transition from teacher to student is very hard, I’ll have to admit. I keep wanting to coach people and offer tips. But, regardless, I am just as proud of my new battle wounds as I have been in past classes. And boy, do I LOVE the feeling of kicking the shit out of the guys in class!

There was a book reviewed recently in TONY (of course I can’t remember name or author)about a man who took a job as the guy-who-gets-attacked in a self defense class. I thought of you; and yes, the one time I tried it with you, I too loved that feeling of giving a guy a knee in the groin just for the hell of it.
