Not much to mention today, other than I got inspired by a pair of e-mails from friends, so I tried to look up "karate" in the Oaxaca Yellow Pages. You think I might know this, but I was very surprised to realize that there's no "k" in Spanish -- the phone book went straight from "j" to "l." Nothing under "martial arts" either. I'll keep trying. I mean, I'm even seriously considering buying (or trying to buy) a pair of sneakers so I can join the hordes jogging around the Llano every morning. That's how exercise-starved I am!
