I raced home from work to pick up the baby and called my other kids on my way back so that they would be waiting for me when I got home. They took the baby inside and I was outta there, fifteen minutes to get to my chiropractic appointment.

New Old Friends
Quick Update
I’m looking forward to going to class tonight, and as you may or may not see (depending upon whether you’re reading this via the RSS feed or actually on the website), I’m settling into my new virtual home here on WordPress. There are some details here and there that need to be fixed up. For [...]
Blog Highlights 2 and Blogroll Update
This is a combination post. Last week, I highlighted five blogs that I really enjoy. This week, I thought I’d put the spotlight on a few more blogs I like that you might not know about.
I also want to point out that I’ve reorganized my blogroll a little. My blogroll is [...]
Blog Highlight: Grappling with Life
I don’t know whether anyone’s noticed, but off to the side of my blog is an area called, “Articles that caught my eye.” I’m not the most interesting blog around… by a long shot. I read tons of blogs and try to flag some of the ones that I would like to share [...]

Hazmat.”
Okay, so it was nothing [...]
Neat RSS Feed Features
On a non-BJJ training note, along the left bar of my blog is a header: “What I’m Reading Now.” I have been using Google Reader for a while to organize my RSS feeds. Since Caleb, at the Fightworks Podcast, shared his list of BJJ blogs, I’ve been in hog heaven reading everyone’s training [...]

The Beginnings of a BJJ Dictionary
Ever been curious about the BJJ vernacular? What’s the RNC called in Brazil?
Another of the blogs I’ve stumbled across as a result of The Fightnetwork Podcast’s blog contest is Words, Words, Words. This isn’t strictly a BJJ blog, but the author is training in BJJ. He’s posted an English to [...]
