I succumbed to peer pressure today and bought a Wii. It’s still in it’s box and it smells very new. The release of both Mariokart and Wii Fit was what tipped the scale. Wii numbers and mingling will no doubt follow.

A long time ago in a hamlet far far away, I shared a house, worked and drank an occasional beer with somebody who was slightly taller, but lamentably (for him) far less handsome than myself.

We just got a message from Ann, tipping us off about Rick Moeller’s new cycling blog. Anyone who’s met Rick will know that he’s not one to dwell on the irrelevant things in life unless there’s good humor [sic] to be had therein, so it should be an enjoyable as well as insightful periodical. More…

The last two classes have focused more on fitness levels and we seem to have fitted more into each class. More…

The first thing we noticed upon arriving at the dojo this friday was a new Sensei who we’d not met before. We guessed he’d be the Sensei because of his black and white belt, which all GKR instuctors wear. More…
