strange like-mindedness

THEBOY is getting pretty excited about our trip tomorrow. He's already requested a window seat.

So last night he suddenly told me I need to fix his fishing rod (the line is badly tangled right now). I told him I could fix it, but we can't take it on the plane. I told him not to worry, as his Papa would have something he could use.

Flash forward 30 minutes when I called Dad (aka Papa). Almost the first thing out of his mouth was that he figured we couldn't bring a fishing rod on the airplane.

I looked at THEBOY for a sec, stunned at yet another instance of this strange like-mindedness he has with his grandfather.

"But don't worry, Papa will have something he can use," said Dad.

Weird.

I've got my first belt test in KM next week. I'm feeling okay about it, though there have probably been a couple things I haven't yet seen. As often as I go, I know there are still drills I miss once in a while.

But save for a couple things I've zipped along okay. I'm pleased that my bag work is pretty natural at this point. Gotta start making a real effort to divide my practice into lefty/righty, get that ol' corpus callosum in shape. If Sensei doesn't specifically instruct us to switch up I sometimes forget to.

TUF last night... well, I won't play spoiler since Whit may not have seen it. Let me just say that I was QUITE pleased with who got sent home. I'd had enough of THAT guy's ugly, self-absorbed mug staring at the camera.

Happy Friday.

Not sure when I'll post again. Maybe today, maybe not. We return from our trip Monday afternoon.
