If you ever wonder what I do when I am not training or waxing philosophical on a mat, here is one thing I do in what little spare time I have: write. If you read this blog, you already knew that. I write for local newspapers and magazines as well as research papers for graduate school. I recently had a piece published in Deep South Magazine that is deeply meaningful to me. It tells of a time when a chance meeting opened my mind to the world around me. Please take a minute to read it if you can. And as always, thank you for being a willing audience.

Enjoyed your piece at Deep South. Another benefit of travel is opening your eyes to the culture you grew up in and had failed to comprehend and appreciate.
So true, Mike.
