		<title>Judo Seen from a Distance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From 6th grade to 12th grade, Judo was a big part of my life. I fought a lot, won more than I lost, and went as high as 2nd in high school nationals. When college drew near, and I needed to make a decision, I seriously entertained the idea of pursuing Judo and putting wrestling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Overdue Housekeeping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been somewhat easier, lately, to get time at the keyboard. Not so much time that I actually write the longer things I&#8217;ve been meaning to write, but enough to post this and that. This place has been overdue for some housekeeping, too. I spruced a few things up; now certain phrases will automatically link [...]]]></description>

		<title>Precedent v. The Constitution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, yesterday McDonald v. Chicago was decided. The good guys won, and the 2nd Amendment was found to apply to the states. It&#8217;s not yet clear what this will actually mean in practical terms, but there&#8217;s hope that people in, say, New York City (where I am) will actually be allowed the practical means to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Calendar for Intrepid Wrestlers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I created this awhile ago; it seems worth posting. If I did it now I&#8217;d probably add Jiu-Jitsu to the Judo season, since I think matwork is very helpful, and the Judo people seem to bring athletes back to their feet quicker than ever, these days. I&#8217;d also do it as an SVG file so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Emily Dickenson: She Sweeps With Many-Colored Brooms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[She sweeps with many-colored brooms, And leaves the shreds behind; Oh, housewife in the evening west, Come back, and dust the pond! You dropped a purple ravelling in, You dropped an amber thread; And now you&#8217;ve littered all the East With duds of emerald! And still she plies her spotted brooms, And still the aprons [...]]]></description>

		<title>Victorian Brinzers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having no time to say anything substantive, a picture will have to stand for 1000 words. We had this taken at Idlewild Park. Historically, of course, it&#8217;s a mess. Teddy Bears didn&#8217;t come about until, I believe, 1903. Johannes doesn&#8217;t match the rest of the family at all, but he politely pointed out that, &#8220;I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mother&#8217;s Day, and the Will to Power</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received the unwelcome suggestion, yesterday, that it might not be a good time to head to a wrestling tournament, because it was &#8220;Mother&#8217;s Day Weekend&#8221;. Huh? Mother&#8217;s Day&#8230; Weekend? That&#8217;s a special occasion? I was informed that, yes, it was the weekend during which Mother&#8217;s Day fell. Now, it seems to me that Mother&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Talk on Cross-Training</title>

		<title>All&#8217;s Well That Bends Space Well</title>

		<title>Itsumo Nando Demo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had very little time to keep up this site, lately. Family does that, it seems. But at least I can throw out some links, here and there. This is a song I love, from my favorite animated film, Spirited Away. The writer and singer is Yumi Kimura.]]></description>
