Summertime and the living's easy
Summer comes early to Tucson as always, but this year it is hard to tell if Spring weather will actually continue until the official 1st day of Summer (June 20th/21st). In any case, the Catalina Foothills High School class has only one more session of battodo left, and the UofArizona class is over.
I'm still trying to figure out if I should pay for the gym membership at the UofA Recreation center over the summer. There are a few folks still around so we might just be able to get together for smaller classes. Either way, we'll take a break for the rest of May and into June. I have a little traveling to do for my job at IBM.
We will probably have some cutting sessions over the summer however simply to keep in skill. We typically do these on a Sunday morning at Himmel park. I'll figure out a proper date and announce on the site.
In the mean time the Kodenkan of Tucson classes on Saturday 3-4:30pm will continue as always.
