Today I'm headed into the office and get a call from my wife that our youngest son (he's 9) Michaels TaeKwonDo instructor called with some good news.  Michael has been studying TaeKwonDo for two and a half years now and just became a first degree level three black belt.  Well last year Mike attended a National Tournament in Mobile Alabama, a Regional Championship in Las Cruces New Mexico and then went to the World Championship Tournament held in Chattanooga Tennessee on October.  Out of 9 competitions he won 6 gold medals, 1 silver and 1 bronze earning him THREE world championships(one in each discipline)!  Congratulations Champ! Mike competed against other people from all over the United States as well as other countries such as Australia and Great Britain! Hey Dana White... He's also testing for his Brazilian Ju Jitsu belts, taking Hanmudo and getting ready to start wrestling.
Then...
I get a text about a half hour later from my oldest son (he's 13) Christopher saying that he just found out that he will be the starting point guard for his 7th grade IS (that’s the number one team in 7th grade) basketball team (of course it took me 5 mins to try and decipher the stinking text because there was not one word written like it was supposed to be)  Chris has been playing basketball on and off for the past few years but his number one love is football (he was the starting wide receiver and corner back for his 7th grade IS team this past fall) so it was a quite a shock when I found out he was chosen as a starter for basketball too.  Great job bud! Now go do your math homework!
Then...
I find out about an hour later that my (little) brother Rob was just promoted to Senior Vice President of Hotel Accounting, North America Operations for Hyatt (can you hook a brother up with a room!?!)

Friday the 13th.... A pretty damn good day!
