Real Ninja Training

I have just got back from Tai Kwon Do.  Levi is finally becoming the ninja he has wanted to be.  I am finding that we are 'living' at the YMCA.  Levi has After School Care there, I work out there and he now has Tai Kwon Do there as well.  It has been fabulous.  Roseburg has a great Y, because the Ford Foundation has put a lot of money into it as a way of giving back to the community.  We will be spending some time yet there I think.
 
Next week, I start work and it will all get fairly regimented, but at the moment there is some freedom.  The house inspection went really well on Monday and there are only cosmetic and little things that need to be done.  Hopefully we can get it all done and we can move in when planned.  We have picked out a puppy and she will be ready to be picked up in early December.  Things are starting to fall into place and I am thinking that in a few months it will feel all very normal and all very settled. 
 
Levi is hanging out for Halloween.  I still have thoughts about Frankie at this time of year.  This was his favorite holiday and he pushed himself beyond all endurance to go out on his last one.  He loved the prep and he loved the night.  I am seeing that reflected in Levi and it is a joy to watch.  There is no real Halloween in Australia, so this will be Levi's first real, night.  He has been very involved in the planning.  He has been very involved in all of it.  He talks about the planning and the night.  I only hope that with the huge buildup in his mind, that the night lives up to his expectations.
 
The US gets set to vote in the next few weeks, and it shows on the TV.  There are a thousand advertisements about Proposition this and Proposal that but as I have already voted (Oregon votes by mail), it is all lost on me.
