Agility Dot Drills

July 23, 2010

Light, agile, lightning-speed footwork can make the difference in winning and losing in the ring. Great boxers have the ability to win a round on footwork alone, and if you have ever been put in the ring with a newbie and instructed to use defense only, you’ve had to power up your best footwork in [...]

The Maker and I were having lunch together and I was telling him this fairly long, drawn-out story about how his father and I are so different. He was utterly still and listening to my every word. I explained how I was the bubbly social one and his dad was the reserved, quiet one (rock [...]

July 16, 2010

One of the things I love about this Wall Street Journal video is not just that the WSJ is spotlighting a few of the thousands of young women whose dreams of boxing in the Olympics are now a real possiblity, but also that they show a more balanced view of what it’s like to train [...]

I know I just posted about her, but I got a chuckle out of this picture of Olive in her accustomed seat at the counter. The main reason she sits here is not, in fact, because she might secure a tasty tidbit. She has been known to hook things off the counter with her sneaky [...]

It’s okay with me that Olive isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Really. But I DO wish our newest kitteh would show at least a little sense around cars. However, if she’s outside and I get in my car to leave, she tends to choose and do one of the following. Wander out from [...]

I just happened to stumble across this image on Flickr (captured by Brandonschauer, who is in no way being held responsible here on The Glowing Edge for this freaky Warhol-kissing-Jean-Michael-Baptiste piece) and thought that there was no way in hell that I could work out on heavy bags with a pasty face of Jesus drawn [...]
