So for years before we ever even started karate we have been looking forward to Eclipse2017. It is the first solar eclipse on the mainland USA since 1979 and the first to sweep the entire country since 1918. Knowing this is coming we have planned a trip of a lifetime to go to Grand Teton National Park and be surrounded in all Mother Nature's glory. The eclipse is August 21. I was thinking/hoping our test would be the weekend before as last year's August test was the 12th. No such luck. The test is scheduled for August 19th. We will already be at Grand Teton. So as it stands right now I will not earn my black belt this year, I will have to wait until the next February. My priorities are set, the eclipse viewing with my family and the once in a lifetime experience we have planned means another 6 month wait. Oh well. Patience is a virtue, right?
