Back from Tang Soo. It is 7:42. They practiced for the tournament. BBClass: dad, Paco, Doc, Tommy, George, Bruce, Ian, Todd E., and Katie. Children's BBClub: Migi, Paco, Kayla, Mackenzie, Panos, Stavros, Andy, Paul, and George. Adults: Kara, Christine, Shawna, Katie, and dad. They worked forms, weapons, breaking, and the adult class sparred. Katie practised for the jump front kick competition, and dad practised for the jump side kick. Katie's last kick was fabulous! Sa Bom Nim was holding it as high as he could (still level, of course). Daddy jumped 12 feet on his last flying jump side kick! They both scared me... ;-) Quite a night; small classes, but very exciting. Master Eric said that Master Todd jumped 14 1/2 feet at the jump side kick competition...I'm not sure if that was Battle of LA or something. Oh, and he hasn't been coming on Fridays because he's at Tang Soo from 4:45 to 9 pm on Mondays and Thursdays. He teaches the 4:45, helps with the 5:30 and 6:15, and then takes the 7 and the 8. Geez, how do people like Todd and Katie and Paula and Costas not get sick? Well, for a lot of us, Tang Soo is our life. As Sean says, Tang Soo is our second family. So anyway, George and Andy and I were laughing our heads off today...and I just found out that Andy is older than me!!! by 3 months! When I heard that, I turned towards George and I was like, "Don't tell me you're older than me, too..." but no, I was right there, George is 12. He and Andy kept on waving their hands in front of the camera, and Paul poked me. All in good fun, of course:-) Todd did BBClass, and then, since his mom was gone and he felt like it, he jumped in with the kids' BBC. But then his mom showed up and he'd just finished running his 10 laps, but he had to drop out, soo...he's probably at his grandma's house right now...HA, which is why he felt like staying for BBClub for once since he got his black belt. Omigosh, I've totally forgotten to mention that...I GOT MY BRACE OFF!!! I can live again LOL. I keep forgetting, though, and I've still been going up the stairs one at a time instead of my normal two. Steph was running through the kickboxing card box and telling me who she knew and stuff...Black belt run tomorrow and I want to walk a couple of laps. I promised dad I wouldn't push it. G2g eat dinner.
