Re <<smile>> In the slow-mo notice the sudden speed up of actual movement and the fake-out preceding speed up. Am still in Thailand w/ coconut in toll. The other guests to the birthday party are by and by arriving from all over the planet. We are just reading watching eating swimming and chatting until the 12th when seminars and festivities start. The bash is on 13th. In the meantime got word from HK re the Jack’s fencing. The smiley photo was taken by me on Day 2 of Jack’s camp, as were these below videos, on parents’ day. Jack (going into 7th grade) did rotation through all ages from 6th through and including 12th graders. Jack lost 0-5 on day one against kid who is tall, fast and strong. Jack literally (mathematically physically mentally/strategically) improved everyday, won 5-4 on day 4, and then won against experienced 12th grader 8-7 on day 5; supposedly incredible. Coaches say Jack is ready for competition ‘because Jack does not care about losing.’ ‘Many kids care too much about losing that they lose even more after the first point’.’ Not caring about losing is apparently different, qualitatively, from not wanting to win. Jack tells us there is much strategy in the sport and how and then goes to his computer, cat or gun play. Win or lose, as long as he likes the sport, all-good. I was present only on day 2 mostly busy talking to another parent about movies. I simply asked Jack about strategy because I did not understand what I was watching, and told the Jack to ‘use the Force’ believe I was helpful. Camp was 4-hours per day for 5 days. The smiley photo and videos were taken / shot on day 2 :0) when the Jack was busy losing, but not by as badly as Day 1's 5-0. I neither asked nor cared about the score but know Jack lost because he explained the loss to me. Jack is fun and funny.
