Happy Father's Day ...

Happy Father's Day to all you Dads, Granddads, and everyone else. Went down to the In-Laws Ranch to celebrate. Lots of new pictures up on my Flickr account, so check them out. In house Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament on Monday, should be interesting, as this will be my first tournament since breaking my foot. I went on Friday, but wasn't really feeling it, guess you could say I phoned it in, since it wasn't my best night ever.





Decided I would close with a self portrait. Yes, yes I know I have nice nails, ignore the hairy knuckles.

"Done, Done, and I'm on to the next one ..."

With a nod of the head to the Foo Fighters. BJJ Friday night, and I walked out with another stripe. Two more, and I get my blue belt. Risking the cliche, this has taken a little blood (seen in the picture), a lot of sweat, and a little bit of tears. It's amazing where I started compared to where I am right now, I remember first starting, and thinking I would never be able to do what they are doing. Now, new guys come in, and I see what I was in them.

In other news, I started my first week without the boot (maybe I started back to BJJ slightly earlier then the doc had in mind), but very little pain, and none while wrestling. I did take it easy, but my state of mind and my body are better now that I have rolled at least once. Next class Wednesday, see the Dr. on Friday.
