Lost My Batteries
I lost the batteries to my Sony camera. Right now, I’m using my husband’s Fuji. I think I am falling in love with it. He’s going to have to buy his own because I don’t think I’ll be letting this one go.
Today, all 4 kids were testing for higher level in their martial arts class. It was fun to see the sparring part of the test. My husband and I are worried about our 3rd child because he’s 100 pounds at almost 8 years of age. His height and frame indicates that he’s about 20 pounds overweight. It works to his disadvantage when he’s on the ground because he can’t get much hip action to toss his opponent away. But, when it’s take-down time, his weight made his quiet steady on his feet. It didn’t help that his older brother (he’s 11) at only 70+ pounds is very much at a disadvantage. There was a lot of frustrations on my eldest son’s part on that part of the exercise.
I haven’t downloaded the pictures, so it will come out later.
Sometimes, a pair is better than one.
Weight is very important in matial arts, but it isn’t everything. I weighed 74 kilograms when I was practicing judo. My weight category was -78. There was another guy who was in the same category as me and we were just as good. When out teammember in -86 moved and had to give up his position in the team, our coach asked me to move up to -86. I got better results there, I guess is was a bit faster and more agile. But I have to admit, my body felt broken at the end of that season, after all, with my 74 kg, I could be facing opponents that weighed 12 kg of 24 pound more that me.

That’s a lovely photo. I think you’re son will lose weight as time goes by. It’s probably baby fat especially that he is still 8.
True, a pair is always better than one!
