My six year old niece, Lil L, went to see Santa last week. She spent so much time telling him what a good girl she's been that she ran out of time to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. Thank goodness for the list!

Just taking a little break from STACKS of cardboard boxes to get some presents wrapped. What did you ask Santa for Christmas? I'm hoping he'll bring me a Ukelele or one of Dave Choe's Siamese Twins!

Rad: Parkour - The Art Of Moving



Wikipedia...
Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement [1] (English: the art of moving) is a non- competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, as if moving in an emergency situation. Skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves are employed. The object of parkour is to get from one place to another using only the human body and the objects in the environment. The obstacles can be anything in one's environment, but parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the many suitable public structures available such as buildings and rails.
