    Black Belts come in different levels - called "Dans" so you can be 1st Dan, 2nd Dan and so on. Theoretically there is no limit to the dan number you can achieve but practically, the body starts to give out and very few ever get to 5th Dan or higher. Why do I know this? Because I also had a karate grading today. Must be the day for it. I passed but I collected a few bruises along the way. Good fun and I love the physicality of it - it is a great foil to a mentally intensive job.

As a plus, it's also restored the stamina and flexibility I had 20 years ago; I should have started it then! I'm hoping to make it to 4th dan, but having started so late in life that's a really ambitious goal. Still, the benefits of trying far outweigh the consequences of being a couch potato - I intend to keep at it for as long as I can. It's so much more fun than lifting weights and jogging.:-D "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.

      :jig: What's everyone else up to today? We are finally (ok, after 3 days... :-O ) going to see ROTK :-D. I also need to test two new lenses for my film camera (a 28mm and a x2 converter) and have the results developed to make sure they are accurate before going home in January. Should be a great day :cool:.

      Last time I checked, all programmers have selective ignorance. I know nothing about 3D graphics. I know a lot about COM. VB gets under people's skin because one can be ignorant of computer architecture and ASM and still get a lot done. - Don Box

          Uhm.. is this some southern hemisphere thing? Botswana is north of South Africa (assuming your bio page is correct). You should be travelling up! ;) -- "We shall crush you down to the point, where there is no coming back, things will happen to you from which you could not recover if you lived a thousand years, a thousand years."

              Well, in a sense you are going down. From your point of view, you are on top of the world, aren't you? It's not your fault all earth globes are upside-down? :-D -- "We shall crush you down to the point, where there is no coming back, things will happen to you from which you could not recover if you lived a thousand years, a thousand years."

Took a walk in the woods and beach, went to the hobby shop for some more train track for the train around the Christmas Tree, then got in a fender-bender leaving the parking lot. No one hurt, my car is fine, and the other car has really minor damage on the door and passenger side. I'm happy to finally put those tens of thousands of dollars in insurance payments I've made for the last 20 years to some use! Makes me want to go wreck some more cars!!! (just kidding!) :-D Stupid dent will probably be repairable within my $500 deductible, and my rates will go up anyways. OK, ok, I'll try real hard to shut up now. So, when we came home, we had a yummy dinner and added another loop on the tracks (these are Lionel O guage) that goes around the dining room table. Very cool. And yes, my girlfriend thinks it's great (and of course my son loves it). Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!
