Echo enters the next level

Congratulations Echo for all your hard work and a job well done!

We’re really proud of you, Mom and Dad

Echo received his Brown Belt this past week after close to 8 years of training and a 1 ½ hour grueling test of Kata, technique, and sparring that pushed him to levels he didn’t know he could reach.

West side highway, New York City, 1979

There was a spot on the West Side Highway where there was the old Yale truck that was perched on top of a building at 39th Street that was used as a bill board.

With all the fanfare regarding the Bi-centennial that company decorated the truck in red, white, and blue with the American flag on the trailer.

Unfortunately the West Side Highway was closed or should I say condemned prior to anyone seeing their patriotic display. I only know about it from the story in the Sunday Daily News.

A little R-N-R never hurt anybody

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
