sure, it's always raining when the rain is here

I live in Vancouver now. Just one province away from Edmonton/Stony Plain, but still far enough to miss it.

Living in China was kind of a cheat when it came to staying engaged with my kung fu. If I didn't, I got hit with a stick. Now comes the real challenge. I'll have to rely on keeping in touch with my fellow students, along with the prodding of my roommates, to keep me motivated and practicing. I'll still be attending Friday classes by webcam, so expect many living room horse stances.

But I'm excited to be here. I'm living in a big city now, with all the grime, naiveté and potential that promises.

I live with a cat (appropriately) named Bitey. He rules.

2 months into this good year, and things are going well.
