It's been forever since I blogged, just haven't done much that is different. I'm continuing the marial arts training, working around my bad lower back as much as possible, and I'm most pleased to say that I've lost 8 pounds this month. I have my second stripe, which means 10 classes. I've lost a total of 23 pounds since last spring, and 20 since October. The "bad" news is that I have to rebuy my wardrobe as much of what I own just hangs on me.

Tomorrow, Paul and I are going to a lecture at the New Jersey State Museum, "A Natural History of the Human Brain." I'm luring Paul there with a promise of cookies :)
