My triumphant return!
So, tonight I noticed that my modem was not flashing its Line Sync light at me, like it has done for the past two months, but was actually steady! Very excited by the implications, I took firm hold of the mouse, took a deep breath, and bravely gave it a casual wave. The PC, alerted to the fact that I had returned and wished to avail myself of its services, switched off the screensaver, and I was treated to the glorious sight of Kerio telling me it wanted to update itself.

Which I'm sure is normally a tremendously boring and even somewhat annoying sight, but to my eyes tonight, it was golden. For the PC is, for the first time in a very long time, connecting to the internet! For myself, a child of the Net Generation, this was a glorious return to normality.

Unfortunately I can't think of any extra-special news. So I shall go with slightly tepid news instead: My triumphant return to Tae Kwon Do continues. Tonight saw my third night back, and the weekend saw me helping out with a demo at the local school's annual fete. Holding true to form, I fell down during the demo. If this pattern continues, I fully expect to fall down sometime on Thursday's lesson.

My body is definitely not used to such things as side-piercing kicks and fifty five jumping kicks in a row, and rebelled mightily against the injustices I was visiting upon it tonight. I got a huge pounding headache halfway through the warmup session, and towards the end my hip started playing up abonimably. I limped through the rest of Chung-Moo. Thankfully nobody commented.
