- Brought TheBoy to his dojo for the first part of his black belt test.
- Retrieved the Harley from winter storage.
- Rewarded TheBoy with lunch at McDonald's for passing the first part of his black belt test.
- Second part of TheBoy's black belt test, his forms.
- Dinner for the black belt recipients and their families - with the black belts preparing, serving, and cleaning up dinner!
- Ice cream for TheBoy to celebrate this achievement.
But back to TheBoy. Today really is all about him. Here he is when he started at his dojo:
Only a Yellow Belt!
That picture was taken in June of 2007. TheBoy has been studying karate for over three years (he started at a different dojo about a year before that picture was taken, got his yellow belt, then we decided to switch dojos). Along the way there have been times he's wanted to drop out, but he persevered and stuck with it.
I could not be more proud of my son than I am today.
That is all.

Jay, I don't understand this 'winter storage' thing you keep talking about.

It's the opposite of your "burst into flames" season in July & August...
"I could not be more proud of my son than I am today."
As you should be.
Good for him and good for you and Mrs. G for leading them and yet allowing them to grow!
Congratulations to TheBoy! What an achievement! And well done to you and Mrs.G.
Good for him! Congratulations! What style?
We also got the bike out of storage yesterday and went for a ride.
Hey, don't apologize for bragging on the boy - you've got a right!
Just awesome! Congrats to him!
