Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
... after not going to the Jun Fan/Jeet Kune Do class two miles from your house because you have a cold, you drive 20 miles to sit in on Aikido, so you would get some martial arts that night.

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
.... in spite of the winter storm warning and the phrase "no uneccessary travel," you still have to get out and see how crappy the roads are before turing around and deciding it's really not safe to drive 20 miles to Aikido. (Or is that a sign my addiction is weakening?)

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
... your dojo is closed for the week over the holidays, but Sensei lets you take a key, and 7 of you turn up for 3 hours in the evening to train together. (Another session planned for tonight, too. :-) )

No, Michael, it's not weakening, it's just Upstate New York weather. If you stayed home, you will live to train another day.
Linda in California..... you all are an inspiration, and have some more fun tonight!

Thank you for understanding ... both my "problem" and the weather!

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
From an uchideshi aspect:
- you constantly straighten pictures/paintings that are askew
- you bow to the curb before stepping onto it
- when you see a hakama on the floor (that doesn't belong to your sensei), you feel the urge to run over and fold it
- you attend music festivals and use tai sabaki to move throughout the crowd
- you've woken up to see that you have your partner/lover in a nikkyo pin
- you sit in sieza when you hear a bell
- you constantly probe other people's balance when shaking their hand
