On the road again
Tonight I leave once again for business travel reasons.
I'm a bit sad to have to leave Claudia and Jonathan again, but I'm energized by the weekend.
My little boy is pretty darn good at Tae Kwon Do. He's been studying it for almost a year now. He has great (and patient) instructors and Jonathan is passionate about it. He's going to be in his first tournament this coming weekend. He'll be doing breaking techniques and sparring. Yes, six-year-olds spar. It's fun to watch, I'll admit. Jonathan has an aggressive side that comes out during sparring, and he is fiercely competitive. Laid back as Claudia and I are, we cannot figure out where Jonathan gets it (please note the sarcasm dripping from the statement).
I watched him do three classes this weekend. They run them pretty hard. I'm glad. It makes for more athletic kids. His little TKD crew are all little athletes. They're all good-looking too. I figure in eight years or so, JD and his friends will be quite popular with the ladies.
Claudia had a great day on Sunday. All the neighborhood kids came down to our house on the end of the street. There were kids running in and out of the house, playing on the swings in our backyard, playing on our lawn with JD's toys, and riding bikes in the circle in front of our house. It's been a dream of hers that our house be "that house." Sunday all day it was. Claudia had as much fun as the kids. And I enjoyed every minute of it watching her, and trying not to get run over by the kids-on-wheels.
But tonight I leave again for Delaware. No more hugs till Friday. No smiles, no playing catch or watching TV or telling stories. I'll hear from Claudia how JD has dones at school and TKD class each night, but it's not the same.
Friday seems so far away.
