That . . . person in the White House

I didn't tune in to his speech last night. I can't bring myself to listen to him anymore. It's gotten to be a truly visceral reaction: every time his whining little voice is on the radio, I find myself lunging to snap it off. Did any of you catch the speech?

Honestly, is there any reason to listen to him anymore? (Other than, I suppose, to keep track of the new and imaginative ways he's finding to trash the Constitution.)

How much longer until he is gone?

The Scorpion Kick

I just joined a team on SparkPeople for women in the martial arts. I posted a picture of Delia doing one of her crazy kicks, and someone sent me to YouTube to view this video of Chloe Bruce, suggesting that Delia might be able to do the Scorpion kick that Ms. Bruce demonstrates in this very short video here:

So, Delia tried it. And the thing is, she can actually almost do it. She's really about 90% there. She just needs to open her hip just slightly more so that her leg is on a straight up-and-down axis, and she needs to maintain her balance. Still, she thinks that if she works at it, she'll have a real surprise for sensei soon, maybe a month or two.
