Dirt and Pen Pals
My plans for the weekend are to do something fun with the girls, and go pick a pile of dirt to call our own in the development where we might build in advance of our meeting on Tuesday. Exciting stuff, but since I’m betting you’d rather hear another silly BBM flashback story, check out my guest post at Adam’s Cerebral Spillage today. I know how much you all love my ridiculous junior high stories so don’t miss this one!
Also, it seems I’ve jumped the gun a bit with the Carnival of Martial Arts books post that was actually supposed to go live on Monday. So, if you still want to submit something, go right ahead. I’ll add it.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve reviewed several martial arts books. If you’d like the links to those, they are:

I don’t know if any of those will meet your needs or not.
Not having participated in this carnival before, I’m not one hundred percent sure what you’re looking for, or even if I’m intruding. But if you’re looking for reviews of martial arts books, I’ve written a few over the last couple of years. Here are the titles and links, if you’re interested. If not, I won’t take offense.
