The pen is willing but the mind is not
I want to write something. I’ve been promising a few people that I will write something. It’s not that I don’t want to put proverbial pen-to-paper, it’s just that although the desire is there – the words are not.
It is HUGELY frustrating and more than a little worrying. There are things afoot which could be the cause of this frustrating blankness but I am not entirely sure that this is, or I fervently hope it’s not, the root cause.
There’s been enough happening in the last few months that deserve a mention; Black belts, technology, Cancer, garage dojo, work, children growing up and the usual idiocy of me interacting with my peers.

So don’t ask, as I won’t tell.. and yes probably won’t overly think about the matter at hand either. Time to put some things on the back burner for a while and concentrate on the mundane, as well as some longer term goals which are starting to look like they may actually be possible!
It’s also given me a damn good excuse to use rather a lot of the fine cartoons that
