Bright-eyes caught this fella goofing off in our backyard. It's my inspiration for today.

Just got a package today from a good friend in Japan ---I didn't believe him when he said I was a character in a manga series. My friend had gone on to start his own style of Karate after I left Japan; his son, little Ryu in the picture below, became a national champion. The series happens before that, back in the good old days when he, Ryu and I were training in his small, family dojo. Ryu is about the same age as Tao, so he was about 8-12 when I was there. In this one I'm teaching Ryu what a "feint" is while we were at a tournament (By shouting, Look! A beetle! and stealing his chips.) The characters all use our actual names and, while embellished (heh), it's based on real events and brought back lots of memories. And it looks just like me. LOL. You read it right to left, btw. I might scan some more of our adventures from this series in the future. Click on the image to zoom. Now there is a certain, small culture of martial arts enthusiasts whom I've never...

An Okie was stopped by a game warden with two ice chests full of fish leaving a cove well known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to catch those fish?' 'No, sir', replied the Okie. 'I ain't got none of them there licenses. You must understand, these here are my pet fish.' 'Pet fish?' 'Yeah. Every night, I take these here fish down to the lake and let 'em swim 'round for awhile. Then, when I whistle, they jump right back into these here ice chests and I take 'em home.' 'Fish can't do that!' The Okie looked at the warden for a moment and then said, 'It's the truth and I'll show ya. It really works.' 'OK', said the warden. 'I've got to see this!' The Okie poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the warden says, 'Well?' 'Well, what?', says the Okie. The warden says, 'When are you going to call the...

An old man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light. The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya got there, sonny?" The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!" "That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?" "Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the doctor proudly. The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?" "No problem," replies the doctor. So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right... but I'll stick with my Moped!" Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 160 mph. Suddenly, he notices a d...

...today with one of my odd friends, who I thought had returned from a camping trip... but perhaps not? It started innocently enough, with my email: Hey Gringo, you make it back alive?! ...and then it hit the twilight zone :-) > hey, don't you remember i said we're just now hiking down the mountain > today tuesday, and driving back tonight and that the weather wasn't > unwelcoming and there weren't any problems with llama food > availability and that we didn't have a problem where the trailer > disconnected from the truck on I25 at 9pm sunday night, amazingly > lucky without any real serious issues resulting in a 12:30am arrival 1 > day ahead of our friends who stayed at the trailhead to experience > sleeping in their car the all-night storms/rain and snow half way down the mountain in the morning > that would have been quite tricky to have hiked down in? so how comes > you emailing before we get back anyway hey? Didn't I tell you...
