У чацвер, Студзеня 31, 2020, Grandmaster Pat Weseman promoted me to 4th Dan in Taekwondo at the Advanced Class.

Last Monday, I was able to scratch a big item off my bucket list. I attended a Liverpool Football Club game in person.

I was proud of him because Caleb decided he wanted a job, filled out a number of applications and obtained a job close to the house. Caleb found the job to be a good fit because of the location and working environment. It is interesting
Yesterday, my maternal grandmother Alvina M. Ellis nee Mosblech would have been 100 гадоў. Born in St. Луіс, Missouri on May 15, 1916, Grandma was the seventh of fourteen children. She married an only child in 1938 and they would have two children, my mom and Aunt Maureen. Бабуля мела вялікі ўплыў на маіх сясцёр і мяне, таму што
Мая 7, 2016, my daughter Caity returned to Taekwondo competition for the first time in eight years. As her dad but also her coach, I tried to dissuade her from sparring until we had a few more months but she was adamant about sparring at the tournament. Caity likes forms but she always preferred sparring. Reluctantly, I agreed. Я
A few weeks ago, my second foray into the martial arts came full circle. My daughter started studying Taekwondo again after more than five years away from the sport. It is actually Caity, who brought me back to martial arts in the summer of 2000. After my natural father passed away in July 1999, Я хадзіў на фітнэс, які доўжыўся год
