Here is my fun website of the week.  Go to www.tholman.com/texter.  In the upper right corner is a control box.  Delete and write the text of your choice.  Now use you drawing ability to make something or write something.  Watch what happens.  The faster you draw the larger the letters. Change the color!  Experiment!  Its fun!

The letters and numbers on the side of US Navy ships tell a story.  My son-on-law's first ship was LSD-36.  Anchorage was her name.   LSD stands for landing ship dock - a surface warship with a well dock to transport and launch landing craft and amphibious vehicles.   Anchorage was launched in 1968 and served in the Vietnam theater in the 1970's and the Gulf Wars in the 1990's.  Her ports in Vietnam included Cam Ranh Bay where I was stationed.  In 2010, seven years after it was decommissioned, it was sunk as a training target.

My simplest path to real physical prowess.  Do your cardio when you can - walking is the best, cycling next.  Now do a 4-minute bridge.  That's it.  That's all you have to do.  Four minutes and you're done.  Bridging is easy.  Lay down on the floor - push yourself up on your forearms and toes.  Keep your body straight.  Stay there for four minutes.  Done!  Okay!  You only made it 28 seconds.  Keep doing it every day - trying to go longer each day.  Work your way up to 4 minutes.  You will be in great shape and you will look great.

Mistletoe is a general term that describes a variety of parasitic plants that use trees as their host. During the Christmas season, it is used as a decoration.  In the Middle Ages, it became popular to kiss under the mistletoe.  Because the plant grows without being planted it became associated with fertility.   In Victorian England, it was allowed that a man could kiss any woman he met under the mistletoe and that any woman who refused was due for bad luck.  As for me, notice the sprig of mistletoe pinned to my belt in the center rear.
