Testing Committee for my 3rd dan test

In August of 2005 I tested for — and passed 🙂 — my 3rd dan promotion test in tae kwon do. Here is the testing committee.
Left to right are Master J.K Kim, Grand Master B.C. Kim (my instructor), Master Lim, and Master Park. With all due respect to tkd instructors the world over, I believe that a finer collection of TKD talent you will not find anywhere.
Waltz Across Texas with you in my arms…

After two and half years of planning and scheming we are finally "back home again" in central texas. For primarily equine-related reasons, we chose to drive the horses from Oregon to Texas ourselves — what an education that was. To mitigate some of the problems we expected our older horse to have with the long transport, we took rest days throughout the trip, thereby taking 13 days to complete 7 days of driving.
Jane has a pretty complete pictorial chronicle of the trip in her blog at www.janerohde.com.
Some special friends

A fine picture of just a few of the many fellow students whose friendship and mutual support I will always cherish.
This was taken before our promotion test, so this is the last picture of those belts. By evening there were brand new belts with another stripe!
