Well whaddya know. I remember it like it was only... about twelve months ago.

Doesn't seem that long, actually. Sheesh. Time sure does fly when you're getting old.

Sounds like a good reason to make myself a cheesecake. I will have another reason to celebrate in a couple of weeks anyway - I'm due to be promoted to 2nd degree black belt on Nov 12.

Congratulations! I remember the pride I felt when I recieved my Second Dan (the equivalent to a 2nd degree in Aikido). So much work, but so very worth it in the end. I'm about a year away from my third. What discipline do you train in?

Kenpo jiujitsu. I will have a three year stretch after this promotion before I'm eligible for Sandan (3rd black).

I'm still trying to get used to the idea that I can do it at all, much less wear a black belt. It's one of those things that I decided to do because I'd always liked the idea of learning a martial art. I thought it would be fun and some exercise, and maybe I'd learn a couple useful defense skills. But it turned out to be one of those "duck, meet water" things... who knew?

I guess those 39 years of repressed hostility I had saved up were good for something after all.
