Good morning crew,
Long time Clean Laffs readers might have noticed that I have
not mentioned martial arts in a while. Over the last year I
have sort of drifted away from my last school, having gone
pretty much as far as I could go there, or more realistically,
as far as they were willing to take me.
So for the last year I have drifted around a bit. I visited
a few different schools, but didn't find anything I really
felt motivated to pursue until recently.
This new school teaches taekwondo, hapkido and yongmoodo.
Now yongmoodo is something kind of new. I have heard it
described as a Korean version of jujitsu, but really it is
a fusion of taekwondo and hapkido with some jujitsu-type
grappling techniques thrown in, all designed for sparring.
It will definitely be a challenge for me.
The cool part is that I am not just a student at this
school, I am also teaching taekwondo. So in the afternoon
I am torturing the kids with TKD, and in the evening I am
getting tortured myself with yongmoodo.
The not so cool part is that in order to accommodate all of
this extra time in the afternoon my day now starts at 5:30
in the morning. But it's worth it because I get all of my
training for free!
Laugh it up,
Joe

My 10-year-old daughter has decided she is an environmentalist.
So she talked me into participating in an aggressive recycling
effort with her.
Last week she and I took what proved to be 134 pounds of card-
board boxes to the recycling center and earned $1.34. Counting
gas and ice cream, we turned a profit of -$7.85.
We're going to use generally accepted accounting principles and
see if we can apply this amount to our taxable income.

At the beginning of my junior year of high school in Arkansas,
our homeroom teacher had us fill out a form stating our future
goals. Out of curiosity, I leaned over to see what my friend
put down for her aspirations. Where it read "Vocational Plans"
she had written, "Florida."
