8:40pm: It's amazing what you can do when you don't know what you can't do.
My father had a brilliant idea yesterday. Being fed up with the way things are going in America, he decided to pick up the phone and call people in Washington D.C. to give them a piece of his mind. He literally dialed up Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. And he actually spoke to their secretaries!

But even more unbelievable than that, they PUT HIM THROUGH!!

The senator and congressman weren't prepared for that at all! Caught them totally by surprise. They were clearly expecting someone else on the other end of the line. And instead, they got to hear a very civil complaint about the jobs they were doing.

This means one of two things:

1. The secretaries are equally fed up about the way things are going in America... or
2. It's because he gave his name as "George H." preferring to stop at his middle initial instead of giving his whole name. The secretary confused him with another famous George H... namely George H. W. Bush, former president of the United States.

I like to think it's the latter. It makes the whole thing so much more hilarious.

9:39pm: Going Kendo Commando
My test went all right last night. In fact, I couldn't have been more pleased with how well I fought! I still got hit a lot, but I blocked a lot too, and hit them back just as much.

There were five of us testing in Kendo, and as the master said, between the five of us, there were about 150 hypothetical dead bodies. That's how well we traded blows.

In fact, the master said that for the first time (ever??) it looked like I was finally relaxed when I was fighting! I suppose after thirteen years, this had to happen eventually. I didn't start getting better at rolling until I did it with kamas in my hands. I guess I just do a lot of things better once I'm holding sharp pointed objects in my hands.

Granted, I'm pretty sore right now. And I look like I'm a domestic abuse victim. Even my bruises have bruises. But other than that... Green belt here I come!
