Just heard back from the Japanese swordsmanship instructor.

Have you read Autumn Lightning [link] It's both the personal experiences of a student of kenjutsu and how kenjutsu reached its height as an art just before it became largely obsolete as a fighting method.

"In the changing of the times, they were like autumn lightning, a thing out of season, an empty promise of rain that would fall unheeded on fields already bare."

I skipped ahead to say I'm posting from home because o_a brought me a keyboard AIFG! He's my hero.

I haven't. I really don't know much about it, actually. I just saw the class in the community college course catalog. For my research interests, I really ought to be fencing instead, but this is a lot cheaper and more convenient, and I figure it'll still make my swordfighting scenes better than they are now! And I'll either love it for its own sake, discover a new interest, and stick with it, or I'll switch to fencing when my budget permits and unlearn/relearn as needed.

Uh oh. We're having a thunderstorm. Toto HATES thunderstorms. Poor punkin' is just shaking and practically sitting on top of my laptop.

Ok, here are some pictures of the prom kids...

They all looks so pretty, Suzi.

What size would a kids XS t-shirt from a t-shirt shop probably be in numbers? I'm trying to decide if something I bought for my nephew last summer will still fit him or if I should pass it on to someone else.

Gorgeous, Suzi.

sj, have you googled?

sj, have you googled?

Yes. I'm getting varying answers and answers in measurements rather than number sizes. I thought maybe the parents here would have a better understanding of the sizes.

ETA: The company that makes the t-shirts doesn't have a sizing chart for their children's clothing that I could find.

Well, that stinks!
