Aikido minus the -do

A couple of days ago (Christmas eve) I told someone, "We're not having class today.  We're taking a vacation this week."  They responded in only half-feigned surprise, "A vacation!?  From aikido!?  How could you!?"

The answer is simple.  It's aiki that I am addicted to.  It has permeated much of what I do and I can't seem to stop doing aiki.  But aiki-do is another matter.  It's pretty easy to cancel the actual classes for a week or so, especially to be around family and get some rest.

We'll be getting cranked back up next Monday.  See y'all there for some aiki and some aikido!
