World Champions

So yeah yeah, Mariah won another one (OK two)? Blah blah.

Sorry, just kidding!! That's phenomenal!! But seriously, was there any doubt? Not with Dad training her on the side.


So congratulations Mariah!! But Mariah, just so you don't forget where you started, does this bring back any memories?



WEKAF World's 2006, DisneyWorld Florida.

Our family spent pretty much the entire trip hanging out with the Moore's and just having the time of our lives.

Which brings me to my new hero Randy Moore.

I started late in WEKAF, I think I was 34 at the time, starting out fighting 18yr olds. For double stick they never had a senior division until '06 and I was so broken by then I couldn't fight anyway so I always fighting young guys.

But Randy started when already over 40!

AND wins Gold and Silver. My hats off to you Randy (and a feeble thanks for making me feel really old).

Time to raise the bar

Recently finished some more trainers. The WWII Barung (pictured with the original) is definitely my best work to date.

Also working on a duplicate scabbard to go with the barung.

A sense of humor all his

When I was growing up, preparing for a career was implied to mean, get a college degree. Once graduated, you then started building your resume. Um, yeah. Hindsight says there was a lack of advice with that.
So Cole has benefited in that he understands that even what you do in high school has a huge impact on what College you get into. And what College you get into has a huge impact on who hires you (or in his case, what grad school you get into). Not to mention ACT scores, ect.

Right away in the 9th grade it's about building that resume. What sports did you play, what classes did you take (in his case dual enrollment and advaced placement classes means he'll be a college sophmore when he graduates HS), were you on the National Honor Society, ect.

One thing that he did this year was enter the regional Chemisty competitive scholarship program. the top 5 qualifiers from each school are invited to take another test at the local university. More importantly, the top 20 winners get cash! 11-20th get $30. 1st is $600, 2nd is $500, and so on.

So as a junior competing against almost entirely seniors and even kids from private science prep schools?
Yep, spanked them all. The prep kids perrenially win every year so his teacher was especially jazzed about it.

Cole and his school's valeditorian this year, who took 9th place.

But listen to Cole's answer here at the end. Most of the kids are coming up expousing on what prestigious college they're going to and what they're studying.

Cole's answer was much more simple *g*

Kia Hamster rap

Latest diversion

So if you have kids all grown up now, or if you need to be able to realize your's could be alot worse, this makes for a nice diversion. Does bring back some memories though.......

Mother's day

Happy Mother's Day.
It's been 22 long years now since mine was taken unexpectedly.
Changes everything. I try not to be morose about it but it's a bit hard on a day like today.
So, you've prolly heard it but, if you can, Call Your Mother. It will mean a lot to both of you.
