Love at first hearing

Blindness no problem for judo student: Robert Deese is blind. But he's still tougher than you.

Deese earned his black belt in judo last week.

"I always wanted to go for my black belt," Deese said. "Then it wasn't so important. It was a big surprise."

He remembers walking into a gym in Sunnyvale, Calif., and hearing "kerthunk, kerthunk, kerthunk! I asked, 'What's that noise?' Somebody said, 'It's judo.' "

It was love at first hearing for Deese.
