I was up around 7:00am Sunday morning and ready to head out to Northwood, NH to participate in giving Pending Black Belt exams to several of our C&S Self Defense Association students.

My long time disciple Jim Nancarrow had offered his club for the event, and my disciple Scott Williams picked me up at my place at 8:00am to drive up there - only about 25 minutes.

Though the exam was long - 9.5 hours - all three testing: Richard Mozier Jr., Sachem School, Scott Plessner, Sachem School, and Brian Serven, Rose School - came out just fine.

But I was ready for some wine when I got home at 7:00pm! Sue and I went out on the deck and chatted for awhile and then just fixed a frozen pizza for dinner. We ended up the evening with the cute movie Sweet November (2001), a little light reading, and then to sleep so I could get up and hit the boards hard Monday!
