Dad + Judo Team Award ~ Martial Arts in our lifetime:: In the past, I enjoyed seeing young C.F. take Aikido with Dad. We were so proud of Dad, getting his black belt in Aikido, at age 70. He also had a black belt in Judo. He was a Sensei for both Judo & Aikido. With his insistence, I was in the first Girls’ Judo class at the SFV Japanese American Community Center, back in the ‘60’s. I’ve beamed watching all 4 of my Girls excel in Karate + Kickboxing. I’ve seen my youngest daughter break boards in a Karate exhibition. Back in the day, I helped my brother, Dr B, when he came home with a broken collar bone from Judo (twice!). Last year, he was awarded his black belt in Karate. My Grandfather was taken away by the F.B.I. on Dec.7, right after Pearl Harbor was attacked. They thought he, & my sweet 5 ft. Grandmother, were subversive, because he had a successful Kendo Dojo in Huntington Beach, & was a community leader. They were so wrong. He had the honorable strong blood of a Samurai running through his veins… not the filthy weak blood of a subversive.

Surgeon Needed

Does anyone know of a good heart surgeon? I will soon be requiring the service of one. I am not quite sure how long one can live with their heart in their throat. This is usually not a big problem. I normally can swallow real hard and down it goes back into my chest. Lately though, my children (more so my little boy), drives it right back into my throat with his daring antics. For instance, who said he could ride his bike as a 3 year old and then crash it too. Isn't that asking a bit too much from a mama? I have been working on surpressing my OH SH*T! reflex, at least in public, but when I hear the thud of head to concrete I lose control. The SH*T hits the fan. I have included a little scenario of my daily heart relocation adventure.

Off to a great start.

Good job buddy!

Here it comes, OH SH*T!

O.K. Breathe and regroup.
" Be tuff babe, your doin great"
Swallow hard to relocate heart back into chest.
