Readers, thank you for bearing with me…

I wanted these Free Play Florida pieces finished before November ended. Still, unfortunately, my Taekwondo teacher suffered a bad accident at the gym and he asked me to teach classes at his dojang while the leg healed.

FYI, it was a deep cut that was close to the bone.

On Day 2 of Free Play Florida, I spent most of the day attending panels and learning from them.

It didn’t give me much time to play games but that was rectified on Day 3.
