It’s Friday in Korea, but it’s Thanksgiving Day back in the States, so happy holiday to all my family and friends back there. This is probaby my favorite holiday, when I’m with my family to enjoy it, so I am a bit homesick. I like Christmas, too, but it seems to be more of a season than a one-day celebration. Officially, I guess, I would have celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday. I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, though, but I did test for my red belt in taekwando class last night. Part of the testing involved punching my way through two 1-inch boards held together back-to-back, effectively becoming a 2-inch board. Well, I did it on one punch! My knuckles hurt for a while, but they’re ok this morning. Hopefully, the pain will result in the belt. I go up for my black belt in March. God only knows what sacrifice I’ll have to make for that. :rolleyes:

I woke up this morning to the sound of rain tapping on the window. Late November and it’s still raining, rather than snowing, though I noticed on the weather forecast that rain is also expected back in Great Falls and Missoula today. If the snow stays away until Dec. 23, that’ll be ok with me.
