More than a month--much has happened--absences, aborted entries, a Urban Ed class centered around keiko and kendo as Lave and Wengerian community of practice, knee pains and home therapy, holiday shopping for equipment I don't really need, kote that has not kikentai-ichi, rehaunting forums, Sensei fails again, and who knows what other details. I only hope. Hope that in the new year I'll pick up my notebook and suburi habits again.
