That's a Stretch

Back to taekwondo tonight, and it was a fun night for the gang as they did a few great rounds of sparring with combat weapons, as you can see below:

We were watching that, but then there were all the other usual things I do as watching Maddie and the others train.  For example, there was reading to get done:  I'm still plugging away at this Perry Stone commentary Bible, reading through Isaiah right now.  And I'm also working on this new book from Pastor Franklin, "The Power of Short Prayers."  It's really good.  Also, I'm still plugging away at setting all these Psalms to music with an AI program - tonight was this rollicking Irish themed version of Psalm 35.  All the while, Maddie and the team were working hard - Maddie is training up for her competition soon.  We registered her for that, and it's going to take place in March.  We got the same hotel as last year, so all that is lined up.

I am officially finished with the Elvis virtual marathon, having walked from Tupelo to Graceland here, and I wrapped up the journey on the treadmill while taking a POV virtual tour of Graceland for about a half-hour.  Short walk, but it was the final one, and I'll be excited to get that medal in a few weeks.  This was a fun theme to march along to.  I'm weighing options for the next virtual walk, and I might just go overseas to Ireland.

The Winter Games are continuing:  we were thrilled to see the US Mixed Doubles team win their game in the playoffs and earn the right to go to the gold medal round.  They've been playing very well, and we've been investing a lot of our time watching this event, not just highlights but the full games to really capture the strategy, tension, and just incredible moments when a perfect shot slides right where it's supposed to land.  We're also watching the figure skating.  While at taekwondo, Mrs. Edge and I were talking about getting all caught up in it - while there we were literally watching some games on my laptop - the snowboarding big air finals, and even the men's luge races. 

We read tonight from the Discworld, of course, although we'll put a pause on that for a few nights as Maddie is going on a retreat tomorrow.  We said our prayers before sleeping.  It was a good day today.
