Quick Update

while Carole is in the shower.
I picked Carole up at the airport in Memphis, and we came back home, by way of the Petco in Horn Lake. Or is it Olive Branch? Actually I think the address is Southaven, but now matter.... It was raining so hard that I couldn't see to drive, so we stopped off for a bit to let the storm pass. And the Petco was a convenient place to stop. They had a baby Mexican Black King in there and I wanted it so baddddd. Those are on my wish list. The guy there said they did have two, but one tried to eat the other, so it is in the infirmary. I told him that kings snakes do that. Good thing Carole was with me, or I might have had to pick that one up.

After resting a bit, it was time to go to class.

We mostly went over kata and self defense. When we got home, Carole called her husband Tony and was telling him all about the class. While I was not actively listening to the conversation, one sentence she said really jumped out at me.

"Nobody laughed--nobody made fun of you."

That really struck me, because for her to say it with such amazement in her voice indicated to me that somewhere, sometime she was in a dojo in which they did make fun of people.
Well, she is out of the shower now, and it's my turn. We're going shopping today, and back to the dojo to work out a little more. Then back home to watch chick flicks. Whilst I shower, I'll use the new washcloth I finished off this morning. Ok, ok, I wove then ends in this morning. I actually finished the knitting yesterday.
