Confession time: A trip to the bathroom at my house can not be considered successful unless reading material is involved. Now, before you get all judge-y about my bowels, let me reiterate that I have three small children who think nothing of barging into the potty with bread, peanut butter and a knife (a sharp …
Sensei Don said something very interesting to me. It was in response to a question I asked if one could train instinct or if he (and karate philosophy) believe it is inborn. He replied, “About 98% of people are sheep. You put them in a situation where it’s life or death, such as the random …
Loey! She cracked me (and the random number generator) up with “As for the weirdest diet? Well, it’s common but I still think it’s weird, the Cabbage Soup diet.
