I’m leaving tomorrow afternoon to head out to my wife’s 20th High School reunion. Woohoo! I love my wife, and I’m looking forward to a roadtrip with her, but at the same time, I don’t know any of her friends from high school. We’ll see how this goes. Good luck to all of the Lotus [...]
New Old Friends
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. Sidebar here: it’s GREAT having older [...]
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 linked directly to [...]
Blog Highlights
I wasn’t able to go to class on Sunday. Our daughter got a flu shot and… like clockwork, 7 days later she showed symptoms of the flu. Her fever was a consistent 102F and she was lethargic and generally unhappy. Her fever broke on Sunday afternoon, but I wasn’t comfortable leaving her at home with [...]
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 by highlighting [...]
Hilarious Law Enforcement Blog: You Should Be Tasered
I’m always adding and deleting blogs from the blogroll, but I want to bring your attention to a new one I’ve just added as a non martial arts blog. I read a ton of blogs, but this one is definitely on my list of ones to check regularly: Humor and Satire at You Will Be [...]
Blog Link Sharing – Help
A few months back, Caleb at the FightWorks Podcast posted about how to share his RSS feeds using Google Reader. If you haven’t done this yet, take a minute and do it now, then come back. Really. Not using an RSS reader is like not using soap after class. I’ve been playing around with the [...]
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 stories. One [...]
It’s a Jolly Holiday for… ME!
I know. It’s the season of “staycations” and gas prices going all wonky, but we’re going to DisneyWorld, dammit! With the baby coming in a few months, and my daughter being so damned cute, this is likely our last chance to “get away” for several years. So, I won’t be around for a week or [...]
UFC 84: Ill Will
Who isn’t talking about this PPV event coming up on Saturday? Well, other than my mom and dad, who isn’t talking about this? I’m a big fan of The Fightworks Podcast, and listen regularly, as well as subscribe to the RSS feed over there (NOTE: If that last part doesn’t make sense, check out this [...]
