Hi Slowly, I keep forgetting--you limeys don't do Thanksgiving this week, do you? Around here the offices are emptying out as everyone tries to get a jump on holiday travel, the busiest day of the year for that. The roads will be absolutely jammed. I'm glad I just have to walk to my holiday meals tonight and tomorrow.
Martial arts sounds great. Good exercise, good discipline. And kudos on the skating (my D7 loves it)--a score for showing NG you are paying attention to his need for quality time.
