For the weekend news: Alexandra competed in her first professional karate tournament on the JSK team. She does a style of karate that is a mix of traditional Japanese and Okinawan styles as seen in "The Karate Kid" called GoJu Te. She competed in 2 events, "Forms" which is the technical routine of the discipline and "Fighting." She did extremely well getting 4th place out of 17 competitors in Forms and 3rd place out of 5 competitors in Fighting. It was so exciting and she looked like she'd been doing this for years. Below are some of my favorite photos from the day.
The next exciting thing to happen was that on Monday I rescued an injured young Red Tailed Hawk. It had a broken leg and wing and I took him (or her) to a woman who rehabilitates hawks. I haven't had a chance to call and see if he (or she) made it -- I don't know if there was any internal injuries - but I'm hoping that the hawk lived and will soon be able to return to its life.
