Summer Update

[Matt - a simple hobbit]

Kung Fu friends ... I wanted to drop a quick line and give a summer update for myself. Due to our schedule with students and new job, I have decided to take the rest of July, August, and part of September off from formal classes. Since I began a new job on July 1st - which resides in an office 8 - 5pm, M - F, my evenings are split between my family and other job. When the fall comes, we will have our weekends back and I will join back in training with the community.

Now make no mistake, today is day 21 of getting up at 5:40am to get to university (where I work) to exercise before 8 and then I take my noon hour to play hoops or go through Kung Fu material. I am doing everything I can to maintain a healthy back and prevent office butt.

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement towards obtaining the black belt, especially Dakota for that unforgettable final hour. Since you put so much effort into my 5th hour, I am going to put equal effort into beating you to the 2nd degree belt. :)
