Feeling Happy
Hearing zydeco (It's Fat Tuesday, after all!)
We were delighted to have the company of Tim two consecutive days this past weekend. We have known Tim for about five and a half years now. We met at The River Dojo, where he trained in Matsubyashi Karate-do with Mandy. Tim is a genuinely NICE young man, and we are always happy to see him when he comes home from Eastern Kentucky University. (He brought Mandy a cute little EKU beanie for her birthday). Tim works as a security guard at the Levee, and stopped by after work looking quite handsome in his security guard uniform. He told us that he had ordered a black pouch to keep his gloves in, and that the company had included a pair of free handcuffs! For some reason this tickled me. Free handcuffs, just imagine. Tim told us (somewhat regretfully) that he is not allowed to use them, though. He told us that the Levee has two holding cells that the Newport Police use occasionally, but that are mostly used to hold stray dogs. This also delighted me, for some obscure reason. I was full of the joy of life that night, I guess. Mandy Mae has wanted to be a police officer for years. I am hoping that she, too, could get a job at the Levee when she is eighteen. I am glad they will not entrust her with either handcuffs or a firearm, though.
A friend from Aikido has promised to take Mandy to a firing range to teach her to use a firearm. We are not a gun owning family. My dh Dave has thought about going to the firing range with our neighbor Jamaica, who has offered a few times to teach him to shoot. It is safer for me not to handle firearms, sharp objects, or power tools. I am too accident prone.
