good enough, without sleep

Had yet another work end-of-year party, which I sensibly left early, to help a friend run an errand, grab some dinner, and talk until...2:30am?!
Drag-assed at work all day but productive, then hit the dojo with Elvis and ripped through a bunch of kumitachi and iai. Besides making stupid mistakes due to exhaustion, it was all good.
Next weekend might not be a total wash, but first, Tonchan's birthday, then Arriola-gumi is upon us!

I like the new interior; all the counters are huge slabs of pseudo natural
cut wood.
