It took about 2½ years, including almost completely giving up on running so I could focus more on karate, but on February 15, I earned my black belt. My daughter also earned her junior black belt. Thanks for all the support!
Gig,
PS--If folks are interested, I can post some video from the test.

I just have it as one long video. We start with basic motion. I'm the old guy on the left end, and my daughter is the one on the right end (youngest to oldest). After basic motion, it goes back and forth between DD and me.

I'm waiting for the school to upload some video from better angles, but nothing, yet.
