Still no news about the waiver. I'm really starting to get depressed about it... at this point, I'd take declined, if it meant I'd finally know and have a class date. I've heard some pretty bad stories about people having to wait upwards a full year for something to go through. Its been 4 months since I was selected and 50+days since my physical, so I could have a long wait in front of me.
In more positive news, I took a second job this past week. I will be teaching a youth martial arts class. It is going to be awesome... I am very excited. I haven't taught in about 4 years, so it will be great to get back into it. Lina and I just got back from Evansville, where we stopped by our old martial arts class to see our instructor, and he gave us the dates for the fall training seminar... mid November. We are both looking forward to it but are a little nervous about leaving our son with grandparents. Not because of anything specific... it will just be his first overnight away from both of us. My parents are really great with him and I think they will respect our wishes (e.g. we, as is our son, are vegetarian and our parents aren't). He loves them and should be good for them, and it will only be for 2 nights and 1 day, so hopefully all will be well.
So, checking on some newer (and older sets), gotta say:
LOVE Sun Salutation. Zoli and Bambu are two personal favorites.
The preview Radeo provided us with on her blog is looking HAAAWT.
And I recently found this set by Tragique and Viking that made me nostalgia like a mofo. Best. MTV Show. Ever.
On the subject of martial arts, if anyone in the Indianapolis area is interested in forming a class, I have a Black-belt in Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu and am looking to share and trade my knowledge and experience with others.
