0707, Thu, 043015. Rocklin, CA.

The morning was spent putting the small sticks of the shoji together in two of the eight panels. It is tedious fitting each piece. They need to be fit all together first with a little sanding here and there to make for a good fit.
Karissa came by for lunch and after eating we played with some wood blocks I made from leftovers in the shop. She likes building houses then using the dominoes as people. The dominoes all have funny names. Then Michelle came by for a chat and to pick up Karissa.
Then, of course, there was karate. It looked like there weren't going to be very many students but just as we got going a bunch showed up. I was early and tried some exercises that are for kneeling practice. The Samurai were able to attack or acept an attack from the kneeling position and also part of our training for third level black belt. My knee has been bothering me lately but survived my practice just fine but I am stiff this morning....more later..
