Retirement

[David Gardner]

Hello my Kung Fu brothers and sisters,

I'm in Forks WA in the Olympic National Park. Last night I camped on the Hoh river in the rain forest. No rain, just hot. I have been trying to establish a routine while I journey. Wake at 7:30ish then coffee. After coffee I meditate for about 30 minutes to quiet the mind;not easy even in nature. Then forms for about 45 minutes which is enough time to go wushu through right hand staff lightly for memory. I go through the beginning level forms 3 times each for 30min. then intermediate forms for 15min. Then wash up and explore. A nice lady ranger sold me my lifetime senior national parks pass 2 weeks early so I've been saving loads on park entry and camping fees! I miss you all and being in class. Gotta go explore; more later.
