Captain America and the Enchantress

Took THEBOY to a martial arts school last night, a Kung Fu place. We had to get out to run an errand anyway. The first place we sought was gone. Boom. Website is still up and functional, but there’s not even a sign over the doorway at that address anymore.

But on the way home we spied this place and decided to stop in. It’s a genuine possibility at this point. Good facility, close to home, and the instructor we met was nice. They have a trial program we might give a shot.

Of course, I’ve just learned that there IS a place around here that’ll teach BJJ to kids his age. Gotta check them out too.

KM has no noon classes today because Sensei’s injured. Dang! Tonight I’ve got a counseling class (and a test), so I can’t attend open mat time either.

Been going through my short stack of old comics with THEBOY here and there. Some of them are quite dated, of course. I love this bit of dialogue from Captain America and the Falcon #189 (September, 1975):

(Falcon): “Samuel T. Wilson—WHAT have you gotten yourself into? That’s Captain America over there getting’ it on with that FOXY MAMA!”

Captain America and the Enchantress were just smoochin’.

Current music: “Hope There’s Someone” by Antony and the Johnsons

A brief exchange yesterday as Rick James blared in the study.

Kelli: “Am I a superfreak?”

Me: “Holy crap what’s the right answer to THAT?”

More coffee, and I’d better hit the books soon. Be good.
