Not just German...
How about Ladino? Spanish Jews who were driven out speak in it Israel?
It's basically an ancient form of Spanish.

I'd never heard of this one! So like the Spanish version of Yiddish?

Sadly that is not a Duolingo language offered. But they are always expanding! (They added Latin last year but IMO their Latin tree is not that great.)

And good morning!

Ooo, Latin! I haven't studied that since I was a child, I shall go check it out. So you're saying the Latin course on there is just underdeveloped at the mo, rather than crappy? :D

Good Morning All! Just at work looking over pricing.
I have all the doors locked and blinds down because apparently they have sent out the police and by law officers to do workplace inspections.
Not letting them in. I'll just pretend no one is here. Screw them.
Other than that I had to do another zoom class last night. I really do not like doing zoom classes.
I guess it is necessary now with all the lockdown scenarios but really no my kind of class especially since hardly anyone joins in and those who do seldomly have partners to work with. Sucks

Anyway I hope you are all well and have a great day.

Yeah, it's tough right now. Though fortunately I quite enjoy doing Zoom classes: last night was a good one, I felt I taught it well and I learned some new stuff as I was teaching something I don't tend to use (but I could, I like the starting position). :D

Currently I'm on the last day or two of my Disney+ month, which has been a mega-binge. Particularly of Star Wars content. I've gotten all the way down to the two recent films, which I'm enjoying a lot more due to all that context (and watching lots of documentaries, listening to commentaries, etc).

Our hard lockdown just got extended to 4 Feb :(
I think we're originally set for some time in Feb in England, but it's expected to be extended until at least March? Really hard to pin down times. Though speaking from pure selfishness, I don't mind how long lockdown is, as long as there is some vague chance I might be able to finally travel again in Summer. If I can at last make my Norway BJJ and tattoo trip in June, along with Heidelcamp in July and Hamburg in October, I will happily stay locked down in my room until the end of May. :P

But yeah, given the vaccine roll out is unlikely to get to my demographic until September, not looking good for that. Though hey, at least if it was September, then I'd be sure to still be able to do Hamburg.

Woke up today to the news that a friend died yesterday in a sledding accident at a Bible camp in Wisconsin.

She was a little older than me (50) and a fellow Doctor Who / My Little Pony nerd.

I am in shock. Life is brutal and short. You never know when the end is here.

Be safe everyone.

My oldest son asked me if I wanted to train today at 5pm!!! I was so shocked and happy at the same time.. First time I didn't have to ask of persuade him. It's a big deal to me.

Went to the gym and did a deep cleaning of the mats. 2200 sq feet of mat space, ready for training.

Thanks all. I redid the painting for my wall at work today. I didn't know the stars are supposed to go on the left when I first made it:
I'd have no idea on number, orientation or size of stars, so it's all good. :P

Yay! I'm jealous, but yeah, "I want to travel and go train at BJJ Globetrotters Camps" is rightly NOT a legit reason for me to jump the queue. ;)

Worked all day. After work did a cold water immersion for 7 mins and then warm shower, back into the cold two more times for a minute each and no heat after. Felt really good after. Had dinner with my wife and kids. They had salisbury steak and fries and I had a toasted bagel with almond butter, a side of dates, cashews and pistachio nuts. Yeah I had coconut water too. Lol After watched some TV and then some bjj vids. All in all it was a good day. Wish I could have trained but glad to have been with my family.

Woke up super early just to find out that I didn't have to. Took the opportunity to enjoy the morning and walked the doggo and played in the snow with him. The rest of the day we just trained noseworking, took naps, watched some UFC fights and played video games. It was a good day.

Today Monday was one of those days that I look forward to, on Friday Saturday I was with my teacher Renato Tavares in a great seminar and then on Sunday open mat, I was eager to arrive at my academy to teach my students the movements learned in the Weekend

Today sucked. Snowstorm here in Chicago and I had to drive through it to take my older daughter to minor surgery at 6 AM. I have a temporary prosthodontic bridge and I did not know Indian food (turmeric) would stain it. Now I have a yellow prosthodontic bridge. :-D

For the first time ever, I'm grateful for this plague, giving me an excuse to hide my new yellow smile behind a mask until I get the permanent bridge next week.

I drowned my sorrows in ordering a custom Kataaro belt for when I hit blue belt. Shh, don't tell my husband.

If he understands and values peace and growth he will comply :)
