Some years ago, I studied intensely the art and science of the bokken, the Japanese wooden sword. It led me to an encounter that scared the jeepers out of someone.
Oh, to be 55 again! I still hate loud crummy music, but I no longer go out bare-chested on a winter’s night to work out with the sword for an hour. My days of being a steaming apparition, I guess, are over.
