Thirteen years ago I took a photo of a pigeon. A few months ago I was approached by someone who wanted to use the photo for a book cover. The book came out recently and they sent me a free copy. They also sent a very nice note and some money. It was a very nice sentiment. We are looking forward to reading the book.

Last year Eva was not yet enrolled in classes.
In the span of a year Andy and I advanced three more belts each. Green then Brown. Then Andy earned Advanced Brown and I, Red. Eva enrolled in Jr. Krav Maga and earned White, Yellow, Orange and then her Purple last week.
I can’t wait to see where we are in another year’s time.
Because of the COVID close contact Eva was unable to attend Jr. Krav last Thursday which was graduation and she was graduating to her purple belt. This was a very special graduation because this means that she moved from the lower belts to Black Belt training. This means that Eva goes to another side of the room when the class splits after the warm up. Eva was so proud to earn this belt, too and it really stinks that COVID prevented her from having that moment. So, before class got under way Mr. Brochu got Eva up in front of the class and presented her the belt so that she could train that day wearing it. She was very, very proud and she was also elated because one of her friends in the class was there and he also advanced to purple belt. She did not think that was going to happen and she was thrilled to see him in class and wearing a purple belt.
It is buddy week so the curriculum doesn’t start for the next session until next week. That means that there are fun things done like board breaking and Andy got to do some of that in his class.
