Random Thoughts…

Last night was the belt rank exam in Mapleton… everyone that took it did very well, including my lovely wife. I will leave it to her to describe the results in vivid detail, suffice it to say I am very proud of her.

The Hollis Park facility is pretty cool, it reminds me very much of the old Boy’s Club days, with the major differences of better floors and makiwara planted outside the back door. I’m going to make it a point to try to get out there more often, since this is where the black belt workouts take place.

Afterwards, I made a minor social gaffe when I suggested that we go to Applebee’s. I will not go into details as to why it was a concern, suffice it to say that was one-wording it for awhile. I feared major anger on his part, but it glazed over pretty quickly.

Earlier in the day, I had the opportunity to begin to slay the mortgage officer demons that have been plaguing me. Dad and I went to the bank to transfer some funds around and get the documents that we needed, and after the weekend I will be prepared to drop the documents on the womans desk and call it done. Then, the packing begins.

I will post more later after my workload eases up.
