I did Kendo when Reagan was President, first term. I later, much later, went to aikido on and off, mostly off now, for the past 18 yearsMy Dad turned 17 late in 1943. He joined the Navy and spent the next 19 months in the Pacific, mostly on CV-19, USS Hancock.
The last week of his life he told me why he never ate seafood. When the war ended, the Hancock was docked near the shore, the crew used to count how many human bodies floated past that day. They would often see fish taking bites.
He's gone a while now and I always try to remember to thank a veteran and have a special affinity for WWII vets

Do you eat seafood?
I do. I also practiced several Japanese martial arts and sumi-e
We're opposites. I'm a veggie and I did Karate once and decided I wouldn't be good at it.
All I can say is, if I see you down a dark alley, I'm hoping I can run faster than you, or I'm covered in green goo.
