I have always dreamt of one day being my own boss. You know...living above my own shop and running a little business underneath - with a lobby and a door leading to a back room where I am doing 'something' that is keeping a roof over my head and something I love to do...teaching maybe

I was never really sure what that was...

After my dog, Leia, had her first ACL surgery I honestly thought about getting into Dog Aquatics as a way to rehab injuries..Turns out they have one of these places already called ARC in Toronto. Sadly Leia was a patient there this year after she has a spinal stroke. But that is not what this entry is about...

I just saw this pic on TwitPic which is photo's shared through Twitter...it's from Marcelo Garcia's new place...just a space and mats..

I have felt the calling to perhaps return home to Ireland at some stage and perhaps returning with my Black Belt might offer me the opportunity of fulfilling my dream - and the tatami's will where I am doing my 'something' - Jiu Jitsu perhaps?

...just a thought...

Oh ...and here is Leia at ARC (Animal Rehab Clinic) in Toronto (she is fine now)
