Looking....

Looking at my analytics there are about 20-35 people who read what I post, regularly. With that in mind I think I should take more effort to write posts. Especially more than 2 or 4 times a year. I have plenty of interesting thoughts, experiences and photographs to share that I should probably do here rather than on that dreaded facebook.

I still live in San Antonio TX but don't particularly love the area. My Crohns is doing a low level annoyance but I am reasonably healthy. I still am not working anywhere.

The nationals for Production in USPSA are in a week, in Florida of course. My placing in this match helps determine if I can represent the US in Thailand for the World Shoot in 2020. If I don't get accepted for that then I am going to basically stop shooting competitively. I have invested at least 15 hours a week to it for 7 years and spend about $70,000 on it if I were to do a true accounting. Without this kind of capstone event, the World Shoot, I don't see any reason to continue on at this level of commitment. The matches are fun, but I'll divest myself of a bunch of equipment, stop practicing and shoot maybe one local match a month.

That said, you know me a little and realize I need to do something active and something competitive. I've chosen to return to Brazilian jiu jitsu. I have taken two classes at a new Carlson Gracie academy here in SATX. It has been easily 10 years since I did it regularly and I've decided to just start over at white belt. For good or bad. Sorry Fabio and Andre. But at least I'm back on the mats!
