Adventure Seekers Welcome: Jedi, Ninja and Wizards Tolerated

By Rand Law: Author - Martial Artist - Master of Adventure

A lifelong martial artist and author talks about life, books, movies, music, hobbies, and all things nerdy. This can include camping, hiking, kayaking as well as martial arts. UFO, mystic, and paranormal experiences are entertained as actual possibilities instead of merely conceptualized aspects of dissociation. (Warning dry humor maybe encountered.)
