I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but my family and I train in the antient (according to carbon dating Korean cave paintings over 2.3K years old!) martial art Tae Kwon Do under Master Don and Master Andrew at Jung Kims Martial Arts. We have been doing it for about 9 months now ( I think, don't quote me on that) and on the first of this month we got to attend our first annual Jung Kim's Martial Arts ball. It was at the swanky "skylight ballroom" on the 13th floor of the "red lion inn at the park" here in beutifull Spokanistan. My wife wore a sexy black dress, with sparkly shoes , I wore my brand new pinstripe suit (with a dope ass Playboy tie) and man did we look good! I bought my instructors each a mixed drink (mental note, Mr. Andrew likes rum and coke, Mr. Don is a scotch on the rocks guy) and we ate , drank and danced the night away.

 

 I swear something happens to me when I put on a suit, suddenly I am so much cooler, and alot more forward about socializing. I didn't know many of the folks at the party (I'd say 80% of attendies were from the northside dojang, which I don't attend) but it was a great crowd. Talk about high quality company, everybody there was a practicioner of Tae Kwon Do and they were all friendly and polite, something I've never ever experienced at a large party. If you are a member of our school there are certain expected pleasantrys , such as referring to people as "sir" or "mam" and bowing (no BS) whenever we see eachother out in public. I'm going to put some pictures up on my livespace for whoever (thats you Pete!) to look at and to prove to the world , that I look damn good in a suit! After the party we had to stop by my work and show off to my coworkers, I was a bit drunk and that was fun too. Poor babysitter had to wait till almost 11PM for us , we are animals!

 

 I haven't had so much fun since I took my family to see Weird Al Yankovic live at the fair a few months back, what a blast. A little note to all those reading who are parents, get out and party once and a while without the kids, can't forget to have some special "mommy daddy" time occasionaly.
