I like to draw from my experiences of living and training in martial arts in Japan.  What I loved most about when I found true masters to train with is that there was complete congruence between intellectual concept and physical interpretation.  In martial arts Kihon is the word that applies to basics, fundamentals.  This is […]

I know the site is a little Manufactured Spending heavy right now.  I am sorry if that is a turn off for other of my readers, but I found it interesting to run the tournament, and what’s more, when I get user interaction from something like this, I get the opportunity to spot areas to […]

Update – the spend requirement for the Arrival card has now officially increased to $3,000 in 90 days. You are all doomed… This should be news to you, because as a loyal reader of my Travel blog in Saverocity I expect you to shun all other blogs, other than the ones in our network.  The Barclay’s […]
