Dusk till dawn

Tuesdays are my roughest day. Mostly self imposed as I go to PMA class Monday night, get home around 9:30, bed by 11, then up at 5 am for my men's bible study group. Went home to meet the tree guy who I'm paying a crazy amount of money to save my poplar tree. The tree is huge and would cost a fortune if it had to come down, so $300 is definitely the path of cheap resistance. Then today, Master Knight fell while on a run and messed up his shoulder. I took him to the urgent care where they took x-rays and such. So it was just me at the new school tonight. It actually went pretty smooth. Of course, it would have been a lot smoother with Master Knight because of his awesomeness with kids.The good news is, I'm still trainable, and Master Knight teachings have come to light. Standing in front of the Junior Tigers (7 of them, a vicious pack), was humbling. Fortunately they were kind to me. They must of had some fresh antelope on a hunt earlier. In the famous words of Porky Pig, "That's all folks!"
