I haven’t written in a while now because I had a hard drive crash and stupidly did not have a backup. I hate to admit that I once was a programmer and system administrator with responsibilities for backups and security.
Kenny and Seiji’s Dad has found employment in Hawai, he is now a government employee and that is good news. Their older sister Kathy is graduating with a doctorate in Physical Therapy next month and that is great news. However Kenny and Seiji are not so happy out in sunny California. They are homesick. I think this has affected their judo and so there was not much to write about lately. Kenny had a disappointing tournament in NYC this month and Seiji claims to be burnt-out.
The boys have a busy schedule coming up; Seiji is competing at the National Scholastic tournament this weekend and the Senior Nationals is April 9th. Then they come home for the 40th annual Northglenn tournament on April 26th. School probably ends in May sometime and I guess they will want to come home then for the summer.
I have been teaching judo at the Boulder Judo Training Center four days a week. I’m teaching every level of students; 3 and 4 year olds, 6 to 12 year olds, intermediate teenagers, adult beginners and adult black belts. I hadn’t taught the babies for a couple of months and they forgot me. so last class they would not come on the mat, they hung on to their Mother’s legs and cried the whole time. It was kind of funny, I guess.
