Tonight is my graduation into green-black belt, and for those of you counting, I have 3 belts after this one (out of 15) …

Well, for those of you who are interested, I’ve started another prong on my “Be Alive at 45″ plan. I’ve been kicking a lot of saturated fats and calories out of my diet recently. While my cholesterol and blood pressure aren’t officially scary, it’s probably about time that I took my health seriously …
The Seminar with Tori Eldridge is now over, and it was tons of fun. Being that I make giggling noises when people hit me, and make funny faces when being thrown through the air, I ended up being the person who has techniques demonstrated on them for most of the sessions. This included …
