Contest Winner

The winner of Tae Kwon Do for Women is Bertha. She was the only person who actually entered, so that made the decision easy .

I’m going to be doing a give-away contest every month, rotating between my three blogs. That means there’ll be a martial-arts or self-defense give-away every three months. I’ll post the contest at the beginning of the month; on the first day of the next month, I’ll draw the winner at random from the list of entries.

How to enter: Just leave a comment on my blog anytime during the month stating that you want to enter the contest. That’s it. Please don’t leave any physical addresses or phone numbers in the comments — if you win, I’ll get your mailing address from you in a private email.

Look for the next contest here in October 2009.

Presidential Challenge Update: I have to admit — I’ve been really, really bad. Since Dynamo’s school year ended, I’ve done next to nothing active. Gotta catch up my activity log and see how far behind I really am.
