I ordered this book and E-Bay and it finally arrived today. I can't wait to pour over each and every page. Too bad I have suitcases to pack.
Thanks for reading,

Our grandson Carson has been doing Martial Arts for several months now and he is really doing well. This was my first visit to his class and although he is the smallest participant he has more energy than most of the big kids.
The Center is operated by Master Kim, who is a Korean former National Champion.
They give a lot of individualized attention to each student and I was really impressed by that. Carson is 5 years old and it's not easy for a small 5 year old to focus on each detail but Chris (my son) begins on the ride to practice by talking to him about getting serious and focusing on the job he has to do.
Kelly, his teacher, has been studying for 22 years and Carson really listens to her. They give such positive reinforcement the kids can't help but learn.
You can see how serious Carson is just by the look on his face.
When this teacher was working with him he asked how Carson knew what the one movement was called and he said his Daddy told him.
No one here at the center knows Chris (my youngest son) has been studying martial arts since he was about 19 and in the Navy. He's 38 now and could probably be considered a 4th degree black belt. Actually in Wing Chun they don't receive belts.
While we were watching the practice, I asked Chris if Master Kim knew he could kick his butt? He said no one there even knows that he has studied Wing Chun for so long and he plans to keep it that way. I think it's kind of sweet that he can help Carson but doesn't want any attention on himself. Did I raise a good kid or what?

I'm going for my Remicaid infusion this morning but I wanted to share these fun pictures of two of our grandchildren.
Chloe drying her hair on my new chair after her bath.
Chloe has a little static electricity going on the right side of her hair. Does she not have the bluest eyes you've ever seen?
It's hard to get a serious picture of the two of them together.
OK, it's hard to get a serious picture of Nicholas!
There we go. That's more like it. As you can see Nicholas is finally getting his front teeth to grow back in.
Thanks for reading,
