State Passes Droopy Pants Law
The Florida Senate wants public school students to pull up their pants. Lawmakers passed a bill Thursday that could mean suspensions for students with droopy britches. Florida could join several southern U.S. towns and cities that have passed “saggy pants” laws aimed at outlawing what some teenagers consider a fashion statement—wearing pants half way down their buttocks, exposing flesh or underwear. The Florida city of Riviera Beach passed its own saggy pants law Tuesday, with a maximum penalty of 60 days in jail for repeat offenders. (Wait a minute … jail? Isn’t that where the the practice came from in the first place?)

So the first week of training is over and I have learned a few things about my self thus far:
1) I have a long way to go to be able to walk 20 miles in a day!

I worked up to 3 miles in under an hour this week and boy was I tired afterwards!

2) I like to walk! I have really enjoyed hitting the treadmill at the gym and walking away the day! It is great thinking time (or since it is a treadmill - nonthinking time!)!

I am enjoying this training and looking forward to this weeks!

Thanks to all my awesome donors! I hope you all will consider donating too!

Blessings,
Toni

This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar. Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare. Here’s the interesting info.
