When I was thirteen my dad enrolled me into my cousin's taekwondo school. There is where I met Mr. Griggs. Mr. Griggs was co-owner of V.T.K.C. (Volunteer Taekwondo Karate Center), was one of the head black belt instructors, one of my cousin's best friends, and a great guy with a gentle spirit. He encouraged me as a young man not only in martial arts but in life as well. Yesterday I received a call from my Uncle that Mr. Grigss had passed away. I hadn't seen Mr. Grigss for nearly 20 years yet my mind recalled him clear as day. This morning I humbly bow in honor and memory of you Mr. Griggs [ link ].
Another week gone, and another series of posts handed over in triplicate to the folks at iron mountain to be hauled via armored car to the hillside bunker for safe keeping. I am told that the caravan will have two three eyed, yak pups from Uganda in tow because everyone knows that not even an extremist would dare harm the three eyed, yak pups from Uganda. Just for safe measure I have also duct taped 5 spotted owls, a baby seal, and a humback whale to the roof of the armored car. 1. Friday is for photos: The first picture is of me supporting subsidized art....man my back is really getting tired of carrying this worn out culture! The next picture is of my little girl enjoying our recent vacation. What a ham!
