I was so taken off guard I actually stood there and just looked at him for a minute not registering and he had to repeat himself.So this is it-- the final run up to black belt. Nothing more standing between me and that test but 9-12 months of some of the hardest work I've put into it yet. I'm ready for this. I think...
