Update

I know I know, I've been such a slacker with regard to this particular blog and I plan to post more regularly here as well as my Bamboo Spirit martial arts blog. I'm going to tinker with this blog and change some of the looks and make some other updates as well.

On to our lives: we are now well settled into the house in Oshawa and all is well. The martial arts business has progressed since I started teaching up here in February 2008. The growth has been slow though, owing to the fact that I had no professional or social network in Oshawa when I started teaching. In addition, the economic recession of the past two years didn't help matters either. Still, I'm teaching a class in Ottawa, four hours from here on a regular basis and may have a possibility in Barrie, which is about one hour from here. As for Oshawa, we are slowly adding a student here and a student there. It's taking time.

My contract job with the Law Foundation of Ontario comes to an end on July 31st and I have been looking for employment to start soon thereafter. I had a good run at the Law Foundation as my original assignment was for 4 to 6 weeks and they ended up offering a contract to me. I'd like to think that I did well by turning a 4 to 6 week assignment into something that last almost 2.5 years. Not too shabby.

All the while, I've been taking hearings on a part time basis for the City of Oshawa and that is challenging. As of this juncture, I am unsure where this is going to lead. I'd like to work in Oshawa or at least in the Durham Region, which is basically the part of Ontario where we live.

Will write more as I ease myself back into this blog!
