But Cedric was by this evening. He'd just stopped by a karate dojo near the house. One being run by an old sempai of his.
Cedric, "I'm retired" with his nth degree black belt - he's looking to go into akido next. He's easily seven years older than me.
It's close. It's doable. Very, very tempting. I tell ya, the gym is just not cutting it - I'm bored senseless. And I am getting very fed up with the flexibility I am losing - I used to be able to touch the back of my head with my feet, for cryin' out loud.
And they have had very good students who got through to their black belts in four years - beginning at 50 years of age. With more demanding jobs.
I'll let you know.
