It has been a long week, full of good training and good times with family and friends.  I was treated to a Father’s Day eve dinner tonight, so I gotta admit, I took it easy and took some time to relax and play with the family. (the pic is of Michael, me, and Nathaniel about a year ago as we had reached the top of a mountain while doing some summer traveling…good looking boys if I do say so myself!)

Michael wrote an article for my regular column at www.Kickgen.com.  Please take a few to read it, you can find it under the KG News tab at the top of the home page.  It was a special Father’s Day message, and it made me proud!

I had some really fun times with both of the boys today, including some pool time, a nap, some wrestling and playing and good conversation.  Tomorrow will be an enjoyable day.  There will be a workout, but it will end up being a light day me thinks…

On that note, Happy Father’s Day to everyone.  I pray this is a wonderful day for you.  I will see you back here on Monday for some serious countdown (less than 2 weeks now) to the U.S. Open World Martial Arts Championships.  If you haven’t bought your tix yet, please visit the U.S. Open site and get on that this week.  I will appreciate your support, but beyond that, you will definitely want to witness some of the world’s top athletes going head to head in major martial arts action.

Have a fantastic Father’s Day!
