May 1st

I had an awesome day today. I went on an early morning walk around David Taylor where I used to work a security job at Electrolux. It was nice to see the sign of the place where I used to spend a lot of my time I walked back towards the Dojang. I enjoyed being able to observe the Masters as they reached the ending of their morning session. I was fortunate enough to get back in time so as I stretched I watched various unfamiliar techniques form and stances. I tried to memorize whatever stuck out or seemed particularly obscure or at least take a mental snapshot of the movement or pose. I was nice to be able to watch with out the expectation of reciprocity because I noticed a whole lot of familiar things. I also in tern saw many staunch variations that would tell you that what you are watching is a cohesive level of synchronization. I had a great rest of my Thursday and I'm still working on stretching out at the apt now. I hope everyone else had an awesome day as well. Y'all take care.
