I have trained 7 times in 6 days: Kali on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Aikido on Wednesday, Saturday and today at PeaceJam where ( Read more... )

Ug. I read newspapers online and one of the local papers has a mom section that's been featured on the front page. The section header has a blue cloud with the name of the featured section written in bubble letters. Every single headline posted is either in all caps or partial caps and has multiple punctuations.
