That was close

I left work early yesterday so that I could get Cason to the dojo early to sign him up for an upcoming sword clinic. This clinic, where they will teach the students basic Japanese sword techniques, is all he has been talking about for the last week. When the class was announced it was suggested that you sign up early because the class was expected to fill up quickly.

Taking the Sensei at his word, we arrived at the dojo at six-fifteen, forty-five minutes early for class but fifteen minutes after sign up started. Cason was number seventeen on the list … out of twenty available spots. The front desk lady said they had people waiting since five o’clock to sign up.

It’s a good thing I left early or I don’t think he would have gotten in.
