Goodnight friends! Not quite so murky and wet, rain mostly passing by mid-afternoon, with brief slivers of washed-out blue visible among the heavy drifts of grey. Lacy spreads of low lying cow-parsley leaves, shimmering reflections of traffic lights caught in wind-ruffled puddles.

A little deconditioned from my brief cold, I was gasping and a bit at sea – moreso than usual – at judo, but I got in a decent quantity, if not that high a quality, of sparring rounds. The more I fling myself out there hopefully the more will stick, though I have consistent cognition and memory struggles that map strongly with fatigue and make it a slow process.

May we find renewed commitment to pursuing our passions and living out our values today!
