Beyond Imagination

When Randy Couture fights at 46, I feel empowered. Like, "I'm still alive" at 50. When he beats skilled kids 15 years younger, I realize I'm nothing like him. He's special in a way I can't imagine. Nevertheless, his effort and victory inspire me to reach beyond what a normal 50 year old should. 


Here's to Mr Couture...and to believing beyond imagination.

"...Walk the Earth, meet People...Get Into Adventures"

Jules: I'll just walk the earth.
Vincent: What'cha mean walk the earth?
Jules: You know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from "Kung Fu."

One of my all-time favorite movies is Pulp Fiction. For many reasons - dialog chief among them - I watch this movie again and again. But what's most engaging about Pulp Fiction is adventure; primarily the tale of two Samurai engaged in life's adventure.

And so it begins. My story will not be an historic rendition of Samurai warriors of old, nor will this Samurai's tale be anything like that told in Pulp Fiction. But it is truly the story of a modern day Samurai.
