I was looking forward to my first ever Skype interview today; thought I had a chance for this show. But the connection was bad and the producer became annoyed and hung up. So much for this wonderful technology! I'll just have lunch with friends and forget about ms. producer!
Thanks Alexander. Got votes in for you today. I've been sick lately and don't get on here as often, so if you don't hear from me, I am still thinking about y'all. Chuck & Charlie
Story, of epic fail, or epic win. For my first day as the official sempai of my Ryuku Kempo class, our sensei asked not to dress out, and put our bags down, keeping only what we'd normally carry on the street. We were running scenarios! This is my favorite exercise by far. Our instructions: One by one, we'll walk in on a crime in progress, and had to demonstrate our response. I walked in on an attempted rape/murder. One of the men had a woman against the wall, and they were struggling. The good news is, myth confirmed: the command voice taught in police academies and military training does work. The bad news is, this class is held at a community college, and a real security guard was so spooked by hearing the command-voice instructions, "DROP YOUR WEAPON AND GET ON THE FLOOR. DROP YOUR WEAPON AND GET ON THE FLOOR; YOU WILL NOT BE TOLD AGAIN!..." made the guard pull the emergency alarm, evacuate the building, and call the real cops! Cut to: a very embarrassed sensei and sempai explaining we were just running drills...and there was no emergency. But...does that chaos mean I win? Have a good one! Voted.
Sending you a special message this Sunday: They who are really good can never be unhappy. They who are really wise can never be perplexed. They who are really brave are never afraid. Vote is in!
Got a really nice trophy for 5th in season points at the track banquet tonight. It was a surprise because normally only 1st - 3rd get trophies and 4th - 10th get little plaques or certificates.
