Trendy classrooms

I wonder if this will ever get to Mexico. Or if it would be a good tool for the CYM. I’d love to do it, if the students would use it.

Gymnastics Mats: Found

We went to a gymnastics and karate school last night to look for the elusive gymnastics mats, hoping to have a chance to rent them from this school.

I had no idea why the owner wanted to meet with us, but it turns out that he has another business called Expo Sport. They do a big expo every year with all sorts of sports activities, etc. He actually asked me if the group might be interested in coming to that in November this year. I think he wanted to network with people involved in sports activities, etc. Because of this, he told me that he wouldn’t charge us for the use of the mats. I’m actually really excited to have Ken, the pastor of Above and Beyond, talk to him. This has potential written all over it.

The ritual


Click the picture to see my picks
Every year, I get March Madness brackets, fill them out, and then spend a few weeks on the couch watching the tournament. Of course, being a Duke fan, I always pick them to win. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t pick them. I think I’ve been doing this for more than 15 years now.

Living in Mexico has made it a little difficult to follow the tournament, but there’s a new thing out that makes it possible to watch online all of the opening round games. I’m looking forward to that, and the coverage on ESPN should be okay in the later rounds. Or, I could always download the games on iTunes.

Weird ad

pants
This ad is for a “new remodeling pant” they are selling in Mexico. I had to pick up a flyer when I saw it and put it up here for all to enjoy. Here goes the translation (working from the left part down and starting again on the right):

Dare to lift them!! (in the red part)
Lift. Firm. Remold. (at bottom)

Banner (right side): Transform yourself instantly.

  1. Mold and turn your thighs.
  2. To reduce and elevate this area, making it very sexy.
  3. Control and reduce the lower belly.
  4. Enhance and firm the glutes while controlling and molding the hips.
