Wow, so I just wanted to say that the support and encouragement that I've been getting for this testing have been amazing!  Tony has been promoting this thing as the "event of the century" type deal, and he's gotten a lot of people excited and interested...and in turn they are going to come watch me and Mrs. Gundlach test for out 4th degrees.   Here's a bit of news.  I found out what the surprise for testing is...and to my dismay, it's not chocolate cake.   Master Song is going to make us do 1000 traditional Korean bows.  So we have to be at the school by 7 A.M.  Here's what rbings a tear to my eye.  People that could be sleeping or doing other things will be there to greet me at the door and watch me do every single traditional bow.  It's amazing...no words can describe how I feel.  I mean, one of the black belts who has watched me grow up and all that will show up at 6:30 A.M. to cheer me on.  Wow is all I gotta say.  So that's it for now.  Tomorrow is the big day and hopefully I'm up to the challenge.  For those of you that don't know what a traditional bow is, check out the site that Emily found for me.

It's bascially from a standing postion: lower yourself by bending your knees, put your hands on the floor, and bowing your head to the floor.
