WOW!  I've been absent for several months. That's not good!

 What is good is that I finally tested for 1st dan or Shodan in Aikido and I got my belt.  After five long years of working at this and as I told my friends, (lots of blood, sweat and beers), it is done!  I have really enjoyed the journey and I look forward to continuing on with my Aikido studies.  It is a life long endeavor once you get this far.

So, never give up!  I was 47 when I started and not in very good shape.  Now I'm 52 and in much better shape but I have a long way to go.  I'm still using the V-shakes to help stay in the desired weight range of 165 but I am no longer selling the product.  It took up too much of my time and I was neglecting my primary business as well as other things.

I'll get back into this blog soon and start a more regular post.

Peace
