A New Generation
Thanks to everyone for your recent comments and please excuse the delayed response.
My husband is recovering quite well from his broken nose, thank you! And we've moved on from the incident itself except as a reminder of the inherent dangers in martial arts, and the fact that some people are just jerks! (lol you can tell I've forgiven the guy...). The person in question has a history and a reputation, few if any friends, and as nearly as anyone can tell, doesn't care. What's to be done with such a person? Well basically, nothing. Except hope that over time, he will change his attitude.
I also am recovering, out of the hospital (with a new baby girl!!) and out of training for at least 6 weeks due to recovery needed from surgery. This is probably for the best since I am barely sleeping and would be a menace to myself and everyone else in a dojo! But she's worth it.
Watch out, the next generation hath been born!
Congratulations! Glad to hear your husband's nose is healing well, and a new baby girl is definitely enough to put inconsequential things like that jerk into perspective! My baby girl is now almost 10. Wow!
I try to tell my kids not to worry so much about the jerks that they run into. The way I see it, we have to deal with them upon occasion, but they can never escape themselves.

Hi not sure if this is the correct place for this question, but here it goes. my daughter has a bo very light weight wood no clear coat or sparkles or anything. I was wondering what kind of paint could I use to liven it up? i would hate to have paint chips flying around on the mats. also any stores that carry the reflective bo type tape that you know of thanks shawne in Janesvilee

Well Congratualtions. Been a bit since I last stopped in, sorry.
Hope you and the baby are doing fine. And by all means, heal first, then return to the dojo. But you knew this already.
Take care, and hope the hubbies nose heals well.
