Downside of spraining thumbs in gi class: hurts like hell pulling up... pretty much anything elastic. Underwear, spats, socks.
Upside of spraining thumbs in gi class: you gain an appreciation of athletic tape... and how to grapple like a penguin.

Don't follow the Buddha, follow what the Buddha followed.

Tolkien: ‘We must be satisfied with the soup that is set before us, not desire to see the bones of the ox out of which it has been boiled.’ (Quoting George Dasent.)
This addresses a very different issue, but the comment made brings it forward.

Agreed - I always say when asked about musicians I know (most of whom are great human beings)- enjoy the art, you don’t need to look behind it.

Try being a realist, not a masochist.
Losing 10 lbs of holiday food sinning is gonna suck for a while. Losing 25 lbs to get to fighting trim is almost too painful to imagine.
Positive change means reversing course, veering off, or nudging the rudder for a REALLY LONG TIME.

Wanting to get better at BJJ? Find a gym within 15 minutes ftom work, with lunchtime classes. Tweak your midday schedule to attend, end your day later if you must. I juggle MD, administrative, and family responsibilities, and lunchtime classes bumped my attendance from about 30% to basically 100%.

This.
This letter from John Steinbeck to Marilyn Monroe is pretty well known, I guess, though I just read it for the first time a couple minutes ago. I would be more surprised by how funny it is, if I hadn't read Steinbeck's Paris Review interview. In person, apparently, he was a hoot.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

I've seen a lot of posts lately saying that to support a library, you should get a card. Other things you can do:
1. Be promiscuous in using that card
2. Go to board meetings
3. Join the Friends
4. Demand the books that represent you, you can challenge absent books as much as present ones
5. Donate

Happy Saturday, friends. I'm going to spend the day working in the bookshop. We're very busy this close to the holidays. In fact, I read somewhere that indie bookshops make a third of their yearly income during the build-up to Christmas, so choosing to use them now helps them survive all year!
