For those who are interested in such things, I'm now using Telegram as my chat client of choice. So if you use that service, feel free to send me a chat over there.
And I've also started micro-blogging there.

As a result of keeping myself isolated during the pandemic hooha, it has been well over a year since I've handled my sword. But I'm fully vaccinated now and resuming some of my former responsibilities. I'm going to be using the sword again Tuesday evening, working with the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard and Color Corps. So I'm going to be studying the commands and practicing the forms before then. I pretty much remember the commands, and I hope the muscle memory is still there in my hands and arms. I'll be practicing A LOT tomorrow during the day and Tuesday morning. I sure don't want to goof up and stab myself or anybody else Tuesday night!

While policing the yard this morning I noticed signs of life in that conglomeration of big bushes by the back fence. Though the big branches which have been getting bigger every year are mostly all dead, new leafy branches have sprouted up from the roots. My task now will be careful pruning: getting rid of the big dead stuff as quickly as I can so the new growth can flourish.

This morning and, perhaps, into the early afternoon I'll be out in the backyard with weed-eater and lawnmower trying to make things look a bit more civilized back there.

Just had a nice text chat with Sylvia's older brother in the Philippines. He's my age. He's glad we're doing fine and getting vaccinated. We're glad he's doing fine, too.

Her part-time job has now resumed its regular, pre-pandemic hours. Instead of 9:00 AM to Noon, 3 days a week for awhile, then 4 days a week for awhile; now she's working 8:00 AM to Noon, Monday through Friday again. So I'm getting up an hour earlier every day to help her get ready.
And the adventure continues.

Excellent! I've found an “Elegant Slow Blues” Collection on YouTube to play in the background as I read, and as Sylvia naps.
