Two timing

I did the double dojang workout yesterday. I joined the Master Hartle's sparring class at Lake Norman. Then went over to North Charlotte for some, Dynamic Combative. I wanted to see how the other side lived. Actually, my wife wanted to put a desk into her new office space which is right next door to the Lake Norman King Tiger. It was one of those moments where all husbands are tested to see if we will say the right thing. I was getting ready to hit my two mile run, when she ask if I could help her with her desk. Which translates into, no run, no black belt class, and no immediate dinner due to the fact that it was commuter time and it's a 35 minute drive to the Birkdale area. I stood there really still hoping she would forget I was in front of her, didn't work. So, knowing there was no good scenario that played out with me saying, no. We loaded up that stupid desk. Then it hit me that I could jump into the Lake Norman Dojang and get a sparring class. When one door closes....... you know the rest. So, I was a two timing martial artist. Thanks for the great sparring class and the humility check with those dynamic kicks Instructor Marcus. One of these days I'll make enough money to buy two feet that actually work together.
