My son is taking jiu-jitsu classes. He is a white belt. That is the beginning belt. They had testing today. He had to test to become a yellow belt. I look at the web page and it said his testing was at 11:45. He told me it was at 1:oo pm, but the web page said 11:45 and since I had to pay $65 for him to take this test, I didn’t want to miss it, so we arrived about 11:30. We sit there and watch other color belts students doing their test. They finished about 12:20. Then the instructors broke for lunch. My son’s test was at 1:oo.
This was kind of cool, how the picture came out an action shot. The little yellow belt girl had to sling down the instructor. The instructor girl helped. I blurred out the faces of the other children. I didn’t want the world to see their faces. We get to find out Friday if he passed to get his yellow belt.
After the class we drove downtown. It was cold out, 35F degrees. My husband was told there was a really good pizza place downtown, so we drove around on Gay street. Yes, it is called Gay street, don’t ask me why. There are a lot of really old buildings. I was looking up at one and it had these ornate markings on them. They had statues, of women, naked from the waist up. With her arms up in the air, like she was holding up the top of the building.
There wasn’t just one, there were several of them. I wonder how they got that approved for family, friendly downtown. We walked around several streets, until we found this old building that was a restaurant that sold pizza. The pizza was OK, but it is a pain to find parking to go to anyplace downtown. But hey, I got to see the naked ladies at the top of a building.
These poor doggies were sitting, patiently waiting outside, for their owner, in the cold. They were still there, after we were done eating. They didn’t bark, they just sat there………..waiting.
