too late now – and this time, I mean it…

Here we are. Saturday, April 28, 2001. The day of my test.

No time to go work out at the gym.

No time to drop another few pounds.

No time to build my cardio.

No time to learn how to relax.

No time to change my mind.

No time.

There is time to say thank you.

Thanks to Tatsumi
and Kimiko for
believing in me – putting up with this stress and making sure I know they will
still be here for me, whatever happens.

Thanks to my Sensei. For thinking I have a clue.

Thanks to my Dojo mates. For showing me when I did it wrong, for letting me
know when I got it right and for risking injury to help me go from one to the
other.

Thanks to my Family (of course, Kimiko and Tatsumi are family too).

Thanks to my Friends.

Thanks to you for reading.

Goodnight.
