brother.

Hello everyone!

Guess what?!?!?!?! There is a new Black Belt in the family!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As of 5:00p.m. est. Berger attained the rank of First Dan, or,

First Degree Black Belt! He did much better than I thought he would do and

our Quanjanim (Grandmaster, or our Masters Master) even brought him a gift.

At the end of the test he brought out these two huge Christmas tins filled

with popcorn. The first he gave to a girl who got all A's during her test

(which is INCREDIBLY hard to do when being tested by our Quanjanim, believe

me, I've been through two tests with him.....) though she got a B for

attitude since when she went to read her speech (when testing for a black

belt you are obligated to write a five page writing or three page typed

speech) she was overcome with emotion and was crying so much one of our

masters had to read her speech for her (there is always at least one person

who cries during their speech, hehe).

I wrote 's speech for him so that he only had to say the first few

lines and then turn it over to me so that I would read the remainder.

Near the end sparred (fought) three people at once (with intense

timidity as always :P ) and finally he had to do a few board breaks. First

he did a three board headbutt. Even though he only broke the top board with

each try his head didn't hurt at all indicating to me that if he TRIED he

could have easily gone through them all. His second break was rather simple.

Just a roundhouse through a board. For those of you that don't know, a

roundhouse kick is where you hit with the top of your foot between your

ankle and your toes (at least in Taekwondo, hehe). ** thinks back to

his first black belt test** You know..... Come to think of it when I first

tested for my First Dan I had to do a flying sidekick over a kid that was

laying down and break a board that two people were holding. The people

didn't move after I broke the board and since I didn't want to kick them and

fall on the little kid I angled my body down to the ground, landing on my

ankle............ But here is the part I think is very wrong, after that and

spraining my ankle I STILL had to do my first rooftile break (as did all my

fellow alumni testing that night) only I had to brake through the rooftile

standing on one foot :P As of recently they don't do rooftile breaks

when they test for their first degree, grrrrrrrr.

Ack, I see I am rambling again. It is just that I'm soooooooooooooooo

very proud of my brother. Reaching the rank of Black Belt is an INCREDIBLE

achievement considering his disability!

Well I must be off now. Fare thee well everyone, and Great Job !

Woo Hoo!

Dear Nanc,

Well I, too am going to exercise my bragging rights. , go Saints. When

the Saints go marching home. I am not even a football fan, but it is one game

that is on high volume and high alert when they are playing. My grandson paints

his body with black and gold and has flaming red hair, so the cameras pick him

up when they scan the fans. We can always spot him. Go Ducks, too. LOL

fan. They are die hard fans!!!! so am I.
