Last night marked the final workout before the black belt exam. As promised, delivered a generally lighter workout for the black belt testees, however it was rough for everyone else.

I forgot to post my dream about the Pope this weekend… since I have been convering the death of Pope John Paul II, it’s only fitting that he make a guest appearance in my dream. There I am, sitting in my dream-state St. Peters, where I am at a Mass and the pope is there […]

Well, I decided to check back in on my CafePress.com shop, and it turns out I have sold two “Save the Owlbears” t-shirts. That makes me happy, because somewhere something I designed is getting worn, and unbeknowst to those two people they are wearing nearly unique items. 🙂 Hmm… that inspires me…
