Recovering from the holidays is underway and as a result the annual tradition of having more to do than time allows is also in full swing. Sometimes I feel like I'm at the precipice of chaos, without ever quite falling off it. Of course the load of stuff will eventually diminish and I’ll once again begin to feel like I have control over my time.
Sue and I got the last remaining links of Artha Gallery up and running, although there is still merchandise left to get on the site. This takes a little pressure off, and I can focus on some other matters for a bit.
The iPod Nano I got for Christmas makes my workouts at the gym seem a little less boring. I still am having trouble getting the after-holiday blues out of my system, so the momentum required to get my butt to the gym is ever-present.
Right now all I want to do is have some quiet time with Sue and forget about all of this other stuff.

Happy 2006! Where did 2005 go?
I can hardly believe this year has flashed by the way it did. At this point last year I was packing up to relocate back to Arizona, after a fantastic year in Seoul, Korea. Man, how I miss that place! I know now that if the conditions were conducive, I would move back there in a heartbeat. Living in Arizona has lost its appeal for me. I'm here because I have to live somewhere and work somewhere, but I can say now that this is not the right place.
Sue and I have accomplished a lot though. We both are working, bought a home, and have settled in about as much as any normal couple could be expected. I'm teaching Shinkendo through one of the local city parks and recreation associations and am enjoying it very much. I have always liked teaching, and this give me the double satisfaction of doing something I like and introducing new kids to the art. It's a great oportunity for me.
The most significant personal accomplishment we made is to restart ownership of a retail web site. You can find it at Artha Gallery. A long time friend (who in fact I have yet to meet in person) had this site and offered it to me to take over. Sue and I had considered cranking up a site, and when this chance was placed before us, it seemed like the right opportunity at the right time. We shall see. We don't expect to quit our day jobs any time in the near future, but it may offer us some other way of saving a little more money for the future.
