Moving along, sort-of

Okay, posting now because at night I like to try to get a bit more writing done (or reading, lately I admit to reading).
I don't think I have mentioned the cover design that Dave Gilham has completed for me. It'll be used throughout the City Streets line, at least the fantasy locations. He did another design that was also fantastic and maybe I can use that for Modern/Sci-Fi. Not sure I see a real reason to use 2 different covers for those, but as the Modern/Sci-Fi stuff is going out later that decision can wait a bit. I will try to get it posted on the site this Thursday. I have a lot to get done today so I don't want to get off track.
Soccer is going full swing, yesterday the heavy rains soaked the fields so DS#2 did not have goal-keeper practice. I can't say that I am upset about that. Tonight we are spread out again, thank heaven DS#1 and DS#2 practice at the same field and time tonight. After a day of pour rain yesterday, it is sunny, blue skies, and probably going to hit 70 or above. What change a day makes.
DS#1 has decided he wants to go back to Tae-kwon-do so he started again last night. Basically, we all lost our desire with our school's change to a different system that we felt wasn't quite as "challenging" as what we had before. He enjoys martial arts in general and is about 2 tests away from 3rd degree so he wants to finish that. It sounds like after that he wants to start over in a different art. I am planning to look at some different schools nearby myself but, realistically, I have to think about the class times when looking at a school as well as the instructor. I don't like to think that way, but with all of the activities we have going on, I have to. If you are interested in martial arts the important thing to look for is a good instructor, the art doesn't matter as much unless you are planning to be some sort of MMA fighter. A good instructor makes for a good experience in terms of physical workout and learning. A mediocre or bad instructor really hurts the long term enjoyment of whatever art you are studying. Our instructor at this school is very good, but I do not enjoy the system as much. I suppose I might go back for a few more workouts with DS#1, he loves the opportunity to spar with me, but I could care less about testing.

Anyway, enough of that side-trek, oh, side-trek, that reminds me of some emails I need to send.
